Summary

This study reviewed medical records of 480 adult heart surgery patients to see how often central catheters cause infections or need to be removed early. Researchers tracked infection rates and reasons for catheter failure, such as blockages or accidental dislodgement. The goal is to find ways to reduce these complications and improve patient safety.
