Method: An observational, transversal, quantitative study with data collected in the cardiovascular units of the University Hospital of Rio de Janeiro, through clinical auditing, aiming at the care opportunities in the maintenance of the central catheter. Analysis by simple descriptive statistics.
Results: The maintenance of curatives had the highest adhesion rate, hand hygiene and waiting for the drying of the alcohol solution after the scrub the hub presented the lowest percentages.
