Treatment of central line-associated bloodstream infection – Full Text

"The guideline comprises 52 recommendations, focusing on adult patients with central venous catheters in the ICU. Part 1 of this guideline focuses on the diagnosis and prevention of CLABSI. In Part 2, we will further analyze the management of catheters following infection and the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents" Guideline working group of Chinese Society of Critical Care et al (2026).
