i think i've read here where some of you have gotten central line infections at the hospital.
there is an excellent article in the new "consumer reports" that explains this and also gives a listing of the hospitals and their infection rates. some are reall eye-openers!!
i won't mention the hospitals but it's by state. if you want to check your hospitals for icu central line days and infection rate go to www.leapfroggroup.org.
