- Abstract
Objective: to verify the adherence of the nursing team to the protocol of bloodstream infection in patients using intravascular catheters. Method: A quantitative, field, cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study was carried out in a special teaching hospital in six intensive care units. Nurses' checklists were used at the bedside, in the morning, afternoon and evening shifts, from May to August, 2017. Initial (baseline) characteristics were described with counts (%), averages (SD) or medians (IQR) when appropriate. Results: it was verified, in relation to the central venous catheter / peripheral venous access dressing, that 866 (91.64%) were correctly identified and 22 (2.33%) were dirty; 803 (84.97%) were correctly fixed and 11 (1.06%) were wet. Regarding identification, the teams were correct (n = 647; 68.47%) and the colored ribbons were present in 643 (68.04%). During ICU stay, 20 (2.12%) patients had bloodstream infection related to the use of a central catheter. Conclusion: high adherence of the nursing team to the protocol and low index of bloodstream infection related to the central venous catheter when compared with the literature.
