Abstract：Objective:To probe into the relationship between central venous catheter related infection and cathe-ter indwelling time in patients after pediatric cardiac surgery,in order to find the most safe indwelling time,to guide clinical rational extubation and reduce the incidence of the catheter related infections.Methods:The clinical data of 334 cases with congenital heart disease were retrospectively analyzed.And the relationship between cen-tral venous catheter related infection and catheter indwelling time was summarized.Results:The catheter in all 334 cases with congenital heart disease was removed based on the actual condition.The catheter in 21 9 cases was removed in 3 days,accounting for 65.56%,the infection rate was 7.76% (17/21 9).The catheter in 99 cases was pulled out in 4 6 days,accounting for 29.64% and the infection rate was 20.20% (20/99).1 6 cases were extracted from 7 to 10 days,accounting for 4.79%.The infection rate was 31.25% (5/1 6).Conclusion:With the prolonging of indwelling time,the incidence of catheter related infection increased gradually.The difference a-mong multiple groups was statistically significant (P <0.01 ).The appropriate indwelling time after pediatric cardiac surgery should be within 3 days,which can significantly reduce the occurrence of catheter related infec-tions.
