RESUMEN
Objective: We hypothesized a dedicated team would decrease catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) rates. Method: We implemented a before-after study. Results: CRBSI frequency (39/103 vs. 28/105, P=0.084) and incidence (36.61/1000 vs. 26.1/1000 catheter-days, P=0.175) were lower in the intervention arm. Conclusion: The intervention delayed median time to CRBSI, but was insufficient to decrease overall rates.
