ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

One hundred fifty-one central venous catheters (CVCs) were observed for development of infection. The infection rate was higher for CVCs with a duration of less than 6 days than for those with a longer duration. Our data suggest that scheduled replacement of CVCs is not necessary.
