The ‘triple risk’ of intravascular catheter infection

A few days ago, Chen Erzhen, vice president of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhuanet that most of the bloodstream infections associated with intravascular catheters are caused by human factors, including the awareness and technical level of medical staff. Strengthen people’s awareness, improve compliance, strengthen skills, standardize operations, and invest in this systematic work.

Attitudes and goals for this issue should be clear – there must be zero tolerance. Because from the current medical development and related technical conditions, it can be achieved.
