Excerpt

This guideline applies to the management of central vascular catheters (CVC) once an infection is suspected, in patients of all ages. CVC infections include catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), but also include infections that do not meet the CRBSI definition (see definitions, page 2). If additional clinical processes are being considered, other treatment guidelines may supersede this guideline (e.g., if a patient presents with fever and neutropenia, please refer to Fever and Neutropenia treatment guidelines).
