Abstract
Introduction- A primary blood stream infection in a patient who has a central line during the previous 48 hours before developing bacteraemia is known as central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI), and it is unrelated to an infection at another site. It frequently leads to severe infection consequences that increase the risk of morbidity, lengthen hospital stays, and raise medical expenses. The present study aims to assess the Central line associated blood stream infections in postoperative patients.
