Invasive devices and surgical procedures are responsible for most of the nosocomial infections especially in high risk patients as pediatric ICUs. The most commonly encountered infections related to invasive devices included VAP, CLABSI and CAUTI.

Demographic, clinical data and patient outcome were recorded for all patients. Cultures of urine, blood and BAL and wound swabs were processed for bacteriological identification of causative organisms of CAUTI, CLABSI, VAP and SSI respectively and diagnosis was made according to CDC/NHSN case definitions
