The main objectives are to:
1. Reduce colonization
Using local antimicrobial agents.
Reduce antacids H2 blockers.
Selective decontamination of digestive tract. Reduce aspiration.
2. Prevent transmission of pathogens
Aseptic technique for suctioning.
Care of mouth.
Disinfection of respiratory equipment.
Avoiding stagnation of liquid in tubes.

a. Peripheral catheter- Minimize patient exposure to peripheral catheterization.
- That could be through:
Insertion only if necessary. Early removal if not used.
Maximum duration for an adult is< 96 h.
Daily inspection of the insertion site and
immediate removal if infection is suspected. Hand disinfection before insertion.
Skin disinfection before insertion.
3. Infections associated with intravascular
lines

b. Central Venous Catheter A written protocol for using CVC.
The indications of insertion/duration of CVC be limited.
Continuous education of health-care workers. The protocol should contain information about:

lines
1- Precautions for insertion:
Surgical conditions (mask, cap, sterile gowns and
gloves), large sterile drapes
Skin disinfection Limit the use of the venous line
Insertion sites
- subclavian (if more than 5-7 days), jugular,
femoral.- tunneling of CVC for jugular or femoral site.

2- Type of catheter:
Polyurethane, silicone (better than Teflon or PVC)
Mono-lumen = multi-lumen Coated catheters
- With silver chlorhexidine-sulfadiazine: possible.
- With heparin: less thrombosis.

No scheduled systematic replacement.
CVC dressing:
- Date placement.
- Occlusive dressing
- Every seven days if using transparent dressing.
- Two days if using gauze.
- Replacement of administration sets at 72 hours.
