Abstract
BACKGROUND
A prospective epidemiological study was carried out in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU), at the Mayotte Hospital Center (MHC). The purpose of the study was to identify and to evaluate complications risk factors related to central venous catheterization. Improving side effects prevention and patients care was the second goal.
METHOD
Data collection took place over a period of 10 months. The central approaches followed in the study were femoral, jugular and subclavian. Since the database is composed of qualitative and quantitative variables, the Chi2 test has been used to measure the association between two variables.
RESULTS
The study was carried out on 101 patients. Five infectious risk factors on the 10 variables evaluated have been significantly highlighted: the number of punctures, the number of repair of the dressing, the duration of the catheterization, the exposure time and the parenteral nutrition administration.
CONCLUSIONS
Evaluation of practices through audits, an appropriate training for the staff, the update and the standardization of procedures, development of standardized assembly of the devices should lower the incidence of complications related to the venous approach.
