Background & Aim: In the patients undergoing hemodialysis, infection is one of the most common complications that may occur after the insertion of a central venous catheter, and if happens, may lead to death and disability, increase the length of the patient's stay in the hospital, and increase costs. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings compared to usual dressings on the bacterial colonization rate of temporary hemodialysis catheters in hemodialysis.
