Abstract Introduction The importance of accidental catheter removal ACR lies in the complications caused by the removal itself and by catheter reinsertion. To the best of our knowledge no studies have analyzed accidental removal of various types of catheters in the intensive care unit ICU . The objective of the present study was to analyze the incidence of ACR for all types of catheters in the ICU. Methods This was a prospective and observational study conducted in a 24-bed medical surgical ICU in a university hospital. We included all consecutive patients admitted to the ICU over 18 months 1 May 2000 to 31 October 2001 . The incidences of ACR for all types of catheters both per 100 catheters and per 100 catheter-days were determined. Results A total of 988 patients were included. There were no significant differences in ACR incidence between the four central venous access sites peripheral jugular subclavian and femoral or between the four arterial access sites radial femoral pedal and humeral .
