Summary
This study looked at three new ways to diagnose bloodstream infections linked to central venous catheters in 148 critically ill children. The goal was to see if these methods could accurately detect an infection without needing to remove the catheter. The approaches included comparing how fast bacteria grow in blood from the catheter versus a vein, checking a blood sample under a microscope, and culturing the skin around the catheter site.
