Abstract: Catheter related blood stream infection (CRBSI), a common complication in the department of critical care medicine, may result in longer stay in the department of critical care medicine, increased hospitalization costs, even sepsis that leads to increased mortality in severe patients. The infection control of CRBSI has become the focus of the department of critical care medicine and even hospital management as well as the core of quality control. At present, the prevention program of CRBSI in the department of critical care medicine has been basically in place, and the national standards for infection prevention during central venous catheter placement and maintenance have been established. The establishment and implementation of these norms can effectively reduce the incidence of CRBSI, but CRBSI in the department of critical care medicine is still common and serious, indicating that there are defects in the aseptic operation during central vein catheterization and use. The corre- sponding operation process should be investigated and improved, and efforts should be made from the aspects of theory, management, education, norms, and supervision to avoid or reduce the occurrence of CRBSI and even achieve zero infection by improving and implementing various sensory control requirements in clinical operation.
