The Battle with CRBSIs: The Clinician’s Perpective
Chair: George Dimopolous (GR)
Catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are most common among critically ill patients in the ICU and represent a serious, potentially lethal but highly preventable complication. Although improvements have been made in the recent past, CRBSI continues to be a significant patient safety issue. Hence, it is of paramount importance to maintain focus and continuously improve preventive interventions throughout the perioperative patient journey and beyond.
