| Summary |
This updated reference describes the latest and most effective strategies in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of catheter-related infections (CRIs). The guide describes the pathogenesis of infectious complications while discussing procedures in infection control, catheter and catheter-site care, and patient monitoring and evaluation. This new edition updates the original material and provides new chapters on infections related to urinary catheters and the epidemiology and impact of these infections. Catheter-Related Infections, Second Edition serves as a practical evidence-based refere |
