Descrição
Resumo:The insertion of central catheters is common in Intensive Care Units, due to the administration of numerous medications and monitoring of patients, however there is a risk of sepsis related to the management of these catheters. This study aimed to identify national and international studies that address the role of nurses in preventing septicemia associated with central venous catheters in an intensive care unit. This is an integrative literature review study, carried out in six stages: 1) elaboration of the guiding question; 2) literature search or sampling; 3) Data collection; 4) Critical analysis of included studies; 5) Discussion of results and 6) presentation of the integrative review. The searches took place in the virtual health library database during the period of September and October 2024. Original articles in Portuguese and English published in the last five years were considered as inclusion criteria. Editorial notes, review studies and experience reports were excluded. After carefully reading the studies, 07 articles were chosen that covered the proposed objective, from which the thematic categories emerged: “implementation of interprofessional collaboration”; “implementation of monitoring protocols and tools” and “continuous training”. Final considerations: The study contributes to the implementation of good nursing practices and the prevention of sepsis related to central catheters.
