Central Line Infection CLI

Click here for TGH & TWH CLI Rates - October to December 2011

Patients who need frequent intravenous (IV) medications, blood, fluid replacement and/or nutrition may have a central venous catheter (or “line”) placed into one of their veins. This line can stay in place for days and even weeks. Central lines may cause infections when bacteria grow in the line and spread to the patient’s bloodstream.
