AB  - Each  year,  more  than  5  million  central  venous  catheters  (CVCs)  are  inserted  in  patients  in  the  United  States.  Types  of  catheters  are  listed  in  Table  75-1,  and  five  different  CVC  configurations  are  shown  in  Figure  75-1.  Many  of  these  are  used  in  children  for  delivery  of  intravenous  fluids,  total  parenteral  nutrition,  antibiotics,  and  chemotherapy  and  for  the  performance  of  hemodialysis.  Bloodstream  infections  (BSIs)  in  patients  with  CVCs  or  central  lines  are  among  the  most  common  healthcare-associated  infections,  causing  substantial  morbidity  and  mortality  in  pediatric  patients  and  increasing  healthcare  costs.
