ABSTRACT
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of infection related to the provisional catheter for hemodialysis in a teaching hospital and evaluate the risk factors associated with these infections. A cross-sectional study analyzed by descriptive statistics and parametric tests. It was found that out of 129 patients, 48.8 % had catheter-related infection in hemodialysis, 65 % were male, 33.3 % were 60 years old and over, and 88 % of patients were admitted to intensive care unit. The prevalence of infection in this group was high, and the vast majority of diagnoses of infection were empirical. Given this, it is suggested to establish the routine culture of the catheter tip in all cases of suspected catheter infection to improve the quality of patient care, and the relentless pursuit of the causes that trigger the infection process in line with good practice from across the healthcare team.
RESUMO
Este estudo objetivou determinar a prevalência de infecção relacionada ao cateter provisório para hemodiálise em um hospital ensino e avaliar os fatores de risco inerentes a estas infecções. Realizou-se um estudo epidemiológico transversal, analisados por estatística descritiva e testes paramétricos. Constatou-se que dos 129 pacientes avaliados, 48,8% apresentaram infecção relacionada ao cateter de hemodiálise, 65% eram do sexo masculino, 33,3% possuíam idade igual ou superior a 60 anos e 88% dos pacientes estavam internados em unidade de terapia intensiva. A prevalência de infecção neste grupo mostrou-se elevada, e a grande maioria dos diagnósticos de infecção foram feitos de forma empírica. Frente a isso, sugere-se estabelecer como rotina a cultura da ponta de cateter para todos os casos de suspeita de infecção de cateter para melhoria da qualidade do cuidado prestado ao paciente, além da incessante busca das causas que desencadeiam o processo infeccioso em consonância com as boas práticas de toda a equipe de saúde.
