Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Critical Care Medicine Summary: We undertook a comparative study of central venous lines inserted into patients in the intensive care units, in order to identify the risk factors and to determine the effect of glycopeptide antibiotics on catheter related infections. Methods During the study period we enrolled 60 patients from surgical, medical, and neurosurgical ICU with central venous catheters. Data from the study population included the following: Patient{u2019}s age, gender, primary diagnosis on admission (categorized as cardiac, respiratory failure, trauma, postsurgical and others), CVC insertion site, duration of catheterization and glycopeptides antibiotic usage. Results The total frequency of CRI in the 60 studied patients was 21.7%.The incidence and risk of CRI was lower in patients using glycopeptides antibiotics during catheterization in comparison to patients who were not using these antibiotics (1.67% vs 20% respectively, p = 0.00 1). the duration of central venous catheter didn{u2019}t exceed 7 days, but at day 5.5 it showed higher incidence for catheter related infection with P = 0.002. The most common isolated organism was Staphylococcus epidermidis Conclusion Duration of catheterization was independent risk factor for catheter related infection. It seems that use of glycopeptide antibiotics during catheterization has a protective effect against catheter ralated infection but further studies are needed to assess the benefit
