The size of catheters: an important parameter to consider in assessing infectivity
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The diagnosis of catheters’ infectivity is established considering several parameters. These relate to the clinical patients’ data and the microbial load of the catheters following their culture. Catheter infectivity type is related to the significance threshold. However, differences in sizes exist between several catheters. So, in order to qualify any microbial alteration, it is important to take into account the impact of the size of the catheters. For this, future studies should consider this parameter to assess microbial load properly.
