Resumo

Background:  It is known that most catheter-related infections are caused by medical infections. Much of the medical manipulation that a nurse deals with in any daily activity may involve the placement of catheters in the human body. The present work attempts to study the awareness of nurses working in intensive care units in the city of Ruse, Bulgaria, about catheter-related infections and preventive measures associated with them. Material and Methods:  To find out how much the nurses working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Ruse, Bulgaria, are informed about the forms and measures for the prevention of catheter-related infections, we created a questionnaire containing 17 closed questions. A total of 68 questionnaires were sent to the two hospitals, corresponding to the number of working nurses at the ICU.  Conclusion:  The effect of "unused knowledge" is observed in some of the respondents. They know the rules that work, but it is impossible to follow them in practice.
