Core Tip	The catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are associated with an increase of mortality and costs. Thus it is necessary to adopt preventive measures to reduce it. In my opinion of view, the use of antimicrobial impregnated catheters could be considered in some clinical circumstances associated with higher risk of CRBSI, such as vascular accesses with higher risk of CRBSI (such as internal jugular venous site with tracheostomy or femoral venous site) or patients with higher risk of CRBSI (such as immunocompromised patients or patients with disorders of skin integrity).
