Rate of successful preservation of the CVC catheter after each CRBSI event (success is defined as the affected catheter is safe to use at 4 weeks later to the initiation of the ELT to CRBSI without recurrence of CRBSI)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Occurrence rate of CRBSI. Successful rate to achieve of the negative blood culture. Relativity of each bacteria causing CRBSI and patients's background or success rate of preservation. Number of times to perform ELT until the catheter required replacement. Other events related to the catheter such as tunnel infection, complicated infection or breakage.
