Central Venous Catheter Infections and Associated Factors in Neonates at the José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital. Vive Rev. Salud [online]. 2021, vol.4, n.12, pp.200-212.

The use of central intravascular devices for the administration of various substances has made them an essential tool within the area of neonatology, however, their use has led to the development of infectious complications which are increasingly frequent.
Objective.
To determine the prevalence of infections caused by the central venous catheter and its associated factors in neonates of the José Carrasco Arteaga Hospital during the years 2013 to 2018.
Materials and methods.
It is a quantitative analytical retrospective longitudinal cohort study. The population was made up of all neonates to whom a central venous catheter was placed, according to data obtained from the statistics department of the “José Carrasco Arteaga” Hospital. The sample size was calculated by a simple randomized sampling using the Epidat v4.2 program, with a confidence level of 95%, a sample size of 172 neonates was obtained. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis.
Results.
A prevalence of 56 neonates with infection resulting from the use of a central venous catheter was determined, equivalent to 32.6%, with Staphylococcus epidermidis as the causal etiological agent; During the study, prematurity, low birth weight and time of catheter use for more than 15 days are the factors most associated with infection.
Conclusion
. Low birth weight, preterm infants and the use of a catheter for more than 15 days were shown to be one of the predisposing factors.
