Abstract
Identify the effect of the use of disinfectant port protectors on needleless connectors in the reduction of bacteraemias associated with central venous catheters. A quick review of the literature was carried out through a search of articles in English and Spanish in Pubmed, Medline, Cochrane Library and Science Direct; from December 2018 to February 2019. It focused on identifying randomized clinical trials, longitudinal cohort, systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Theinclusion criteria were: hospitalized users, passive disinfection with disinfectant port protectors and report of decrease in bacteraemias associated with central venous catheter with its use. A total of 2479 articles were identified as potentially relevant, after eliminating duplicates, 1622 articles were evaluated according to inclusion criteria were: hospitalized users, passive disinfection with disinfectant port protectors and report of decrease in bacteraemias associated with central venous catheter with its use. the available evidence suggests that non-randomized studies have shown that the use of disinfectant port protectors with 70% isopropyl alcohol in needleless connectors can lead to a reduction in bacteraemias associated with central venous catheters and could be considered as a cost measure. effective, however, randomized studies are required to confirm these results.
