No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This project proposes to answer the following questions:

To determine the incidence of infection with three primary schedules of central venous catheter exchange in pediatric burn patients and to determine the regimen that will minimize infectious risk in children with burns.

The scientific knowledge to be acquired through this project is of likely benefit to the care of children with orthopaedic problems, spinal cord injuries or burns as follows:

The intention is to improve the outcomes in burned children by minimizing one of the most frequent causes of infection in the burn intensive care unit, those from central venous catheters. Decreasing infections will decrease morbidity, decrease length of stay, decrease costs, and decrease mortality in burned children
