We are struggling with the management of catheter related infections: whether to remove or not. There are guidelines from 2009 . . .
"Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America"
Just wondering if this is the most current info? Or is there anything else that we could be using as well?
Thank you very much
That 2009 kdocument is the most recent that I know of that addresses management of CRBSI. All others address prevention. Lynn
