Central venous catheter replacement at scheduled time intervals reduces catheter-related blood-stream infection.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Replacing central venous catheters at scheduled time intervals does not reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections. In fact, recent studies have shown that routine replacement of catheters may increase the risk of infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends replacing central venous catheters only when there are signs of infection or malfunction, rather than on a routine basis. This approach helps minimize the risk of introducing new pathogens into the bloodstream during catheter replacement. Therefore, the statement is false.
