What this Trial Is About
In order to provide treatment in pediatric hematology-oncology patients, in some cases a central venous catheter is required in children. The most important situation to pay attention to when using a central venous catheter is "Central line-associated bloodstream infections". These infections are infections that develop after admission to the hospital and are not in the incubation period at the time of admission, or although they usually develop in the hospital 48-72 hours after hospitalization, they can sometimes appear after discharge. Central line-associated bloodstream infections significantly increase morbidity and mortality. In this context, the effect of using a care bundle containing chlorhexidine dressing on port catheter and central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections in pediatric cancer patients was examined.
