Central venous catheter replacement at scheduled time intervals reduces catheter-related blood-stream infection.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The statement suggests that replacing central venous catheters at scheduled time intervals reduces catheter-related blood-stream infection. However, this is not true. According to current evidence-based guidelines, routine replacement of central venous catheters is not recommended as it does not reduce the risk of infection and may actually increase the risk of complications. Instead, catheters should only be replaced if there are signs of infection or malfunction.
