The central venous catheter (CVC) allows drugs, fluids, and blood products to be administered directly into the vascular compartment and to obtain blood samples for analysis. One of the negative consequences of CVC is catheter-associated infections (CAI) transmitted to the blood, which can be serious or even life-threatening. Decreasing the frequency of dressing changes can reduce skin damage, pain, cost, incidence of skin colonization and the possibility of CAI.CVCs are covered with a dressing, and they are secured with another safety device or skin adhesive such as a tape or transparent adhesive film, which are designed to bond to the skin in a variety of conditions such as bending areas, changing temperatures, in the presence of perspiration and external moisture; but must also be easy to peel off to ensure minimal discomfort and trauma.The entrance and exit of the CVC should be visually inspected daily for signs of infection, which may require removal of the dressing. If the dressing becomes loose, soiled, or wet, it must be replaced. Frequent dressing changes will affect the integrity of the skin at the entrance and exit of the CVC.To reduce catheter-associated infections, the nurse frequently uses antiseptic solutions to clean the skin around the insertion site, both before insertion and while the catheter is implanted...
