Sites of blood collection and topical antiseptics associated with contaminated cultures: prospective observational study

Abstract We aimed to determine whether puncture sites for blood sampling and topical disinfectants are associated with rates of contaminated blood cultures in the emergency department (ED) of a single institution. This single-center, prospective observational study of 249 consecutive patients aged ≥...
