IJSS Journal of Surgery. 2019 Mar; 5(2): 22-242321-63792395-1893http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/189888Introduction: Use of vascular catheters is common in both inpatient and outpatient care. In the United States, it is estimated that almost 300 million catheters are used each year; nearly 3 million of these are central venous catheters (CVCs), also known as central lines. Material and Method: Prospective observational study includes 50 patients aged more than 18 years admitted to SICU / surgical wards / transferred from either, in whom central line access inserted. During the study period the total number of patients admitted to the hospital was monitored daily and the patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. The surveillance of CLABSI (central line associated blood stream infection) was performed in surgical intensive care unit, and all surgical wards, including burns wards. The data were collected using a standardized proforma. Observation: The incidence rate of central line catheter colonization of various studies ranges from 31.58% to 76 % . In all other studies, gram positive cocci were the predominant colonizers of central venous catheter, but in our study, we found gram negative bacilli like Klebsiella, E-coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter species, species to be the predominant ones compare to gram positive cocci like Staphylococcus species. Conclusion: In present study incidence of CLABSI is 3.27% which almost equal to its global incidence. Commonest organism in present study is klebsiella followed by pseudomonas.Journal ArticleIndiaAdditional Professor, Department of General Surgery, Government Medical College and New Civil Hospital, Surat, Gujarat, IndiaSenior resident, Department of General Surgery, Government Medical College and New Civil Hospital, Surat, Gujarat, IndiaResident, Department of General Surgery, Government Medical College and New Civil Hospital, Surat, Gujarat, India
