The use of endovascular catheters is a routine practice in secondary and tertiary care level hospitals. The
short-termuse of peripheral catheters has been found to be associatedwith the risk of nosocomial bacter-
aemia, resulting in morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus is mostly associated with peripheral
catheter insertion. This Consensus Document has been prepared by a panel of experts of the Spanish
Society of Cardiovascular Infections, in cooperation with experts from the Spanish Society of Internal
Medicine, Spanish Society of Chemotherapy, and the Spanish Society of Thoracic-Cardiovascular Surgery,
and aims to define and establish guidelines for the management of short duration peripheral vascular
catheters. The document addresses the indications for insertion, catheter maintenance, registering, diag-
nosis and treatment of infection, indications for removal, as well as placing an emphasis on continuous
education as a drive toward quality. Implementation of these guidelines will allow uniformity in use,
thus minimizing the risk of infections and their complications.

El uso de catéteres vasculares es una práctica muy utilizada en los hospitales. El uso de catéteres venosos
periféricos de corta duración se ha asociado con un elevado riesgo de bacteriemia nosocomial, lo que
comporta una no despreciable morbilidad y mortalidad. La etiología de estas infecciones suele ser
