Catheter related infections have become a common cause of nosocomial infections and indweling central venous catheter is one of the main ways. It has been reported in the literature [1] that the incidence of central venous catheter related infection(CVC-RI)caused by long-term catheterization is 5%~30%,and local contomination of the puncture site is the main couse [2]. Therefore, it is critical to effectively prevent central venous catheter infection and select an antibacterial dressing to cover the puncture site.
