Abstract

Recommendations on insertion and maintenance of central venous catheters (CVC) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients were updated in 2002. The aim of this study was to estimate their knowledge and/or application by physicians in French university hospital ICUs. Two forms were sent to 124 professors of anaesthesia and intensive care encouraging them to participate to the survey. The first one was completed by the physician in charge of each unit and concerned the structure and activity of the unit in 2006. The second one was filled by each junior or senior physician working in the units and asked for experience, CVC insertion modalities and knowledge of CVC care protocols. Forty-one (75 %) university hospitals with at least one adult surgical ICU took part to the study. A questionnaire was filled by 124 senior (75 % of the staff) and 53 junior (43 % of the staff) physicians inserting an average of 10 CVC per month (range, 1-35). A written protocol for CVC insertion was known by 127 (72 %) of them. CVC insertion was done while wearing sterile gown (97 %), cap (100 %) and surgical mask (100 %) and using large sterile drapes (96 %). The antiseptic solution used for cutaneous antisepsis was povidone iodine in aqueous (36 %) or alcoh...Continue Reading
