Abstract
There are no data about the influence of tracheostomy in the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) on the catheterization of the jugular vein by posterior access and there are no recommendations relating to this circumstance in the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and of Healthcare Epidemiology of America/Infectious Diseases Society of America (SHEA/IDSA) for the prevention of CRBSI. The novel finding of this observational study was that there was a higher incidence of CRBSI in the catheterization of jugular vein by posterior access in patients with tracheostomy than without it (13.24 vs 0 episodes of CRBSI per 1,000 catheter-day; odds ratio = 23.92; 95% CI = 1.86-infinite; p = 0.008). Thus, the presence of tracheostomy is a risk factor of CRBSI on the catheterization of jugular vein by posterior access.Keywords
