Introduction: Health Care-Related Infections (HCAIs) are infections acquired during health care and which were not present at the time when the care was provided, resulting from the interaction between professional and patient. Among the main health care-related infections acquired during health care, central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infection stands out. Objective: To evidence the incidence density of primary central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection and associated factors in the period 2015 and 2019 in adult, pediatric, and neonatal Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in Brazil. Methodology: This is an exploratory and descriptive study with a quantitative approach, through data collection from secondary sources, in the period of analysis, in ANVISA and DATASUS platforms. Results and Discussion: According to the data collected, Brazil had an increasing number of notifications of Primary Bloodstream Infections with Laboratory Confirmation per year, as well as, there was an increase in the number of health services that performed the notification of this type of event. There was also a decrease in the incidence density of these infections in adult ICU of 0.89 and pediatric of 1.35. However, in the neonatal ICU there was an increase of 0.1. Conclusion: A reduction in the density of infection incidence was observed, as well as incongruence in the emission of these data, both in frequency and quantity of events. These notifications mean a lot when considering patient safety, because they make it possible to establish strategies and goals aimed at reducing these incidents.
