The process of data collection was through observation with structured form, refers to medical records and structured questionnaires with health professionals. The results were organized, tabulated, categorized and analyzed using SPSS 14.0. The characterization of the subjects was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, taking into account the nature of the variables, with analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Spearman correlation test, it was a discussion of the information obtained, considering the mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variance and standard error. The variables that showed a higher level of correlation were treated with the application of significance tests. As the results, 71% of participants were female and 29% male, age ranged from 18 to 85 years (52.6 ? 22.5). The insertion, there was a variation from 0 to 5 errors (1.2 ? 1.4), during maintenance, the average was 2.3 ? 0.9 errors, ranging from 0 to 4. During the insertion and maintenance of CVC, patients who had been an infection ranging from 2 to 9 mistakes (4.2 ? 1.7), since those who did not show the variation goes from 0 to 5 errors (2, 8 ? 1.5). The correlation coefficient between the risk of infection throughout the process and the risk of infection at the insertion showed strong and significant (r = 0.845 p = 0.000) and in relation to risk of infection in maintenance was moderate and significant (r = 0.551 p = 0.001). The mistakes made by professionals in the procedures for insertion and maintenance of the catheter, associated with other conditions, shown as a risk factor for the of IH / Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com delineamento transversal e abordagens quantitativas, que objetivou analisar a associa??o entre o ?ndice de infec??o hospitalar por inser??o, manuten??o de cateter vascular (cateter venoso central) e a quebra de protocolos (normas e rotinas) pelos profissionais de sa?de que assistem pacientes na UTI de um hospital universit?rio em Natal/RN. O processo de coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de observa??o, que para subsidi?-la utilizou-se um formul?rio estruturado, consulta ao prontu?rio e aplica??o de question?rio estruturado com os profissionais de sa?de. Os resultados foram organizados, tabulados, categorizados e analisados no programa SPSS 14.0. A caracteriza??o dos sujeitos foi realizada por meio de estat?stica descritiva e inferencial, levando-se em conta ? natureza das vari?veis estudadas, com an?lise de vari?ncia (ANOVA) e de teste Correla??o Spearman, em que foi apresentada uma discuss?o das informa??es obtidas, considerando-se a m?dia, desvio padr?o, coeficiente de vari?ncia e erro-padr?o. As vari?veis que apresentaram maior n?vel de correla??o foram tratadas com a aplica??o de testes de signific?ncia. Quanto aos resultados, 71% dos pacientes eram do sexo feminino e 29% masculino, a idade variou de 18 a 85 anos (52,6 ? 22,5). Na inser??o, observou-se uma varia??o de 0 a 5 erros (1,2 ? 1,4), durante a manuten??o, a m?dia foi de 2,3 ? 0,9 erros, variando de 0 a 4. Durante o processo de inser??o e manuten??o de CVC, naqueles pacientes que apresentaram infec??o houve uma varia??o de 2 a 9 erros (4,2 ? 1,7), j? nos que n?o apresentaram, a varia??o foi de 0 a 5 erros (2,8 ? 1,5). A correla??o de Spearman entre o risco de infec??o em todo processo e o risco de infec??o na inser??o mostrou-se forte e significante (r =0,845 p= 0,000) e em rela??o ao risco de infec??o na manuten??o foi moderada e significante (r= 0,551 p=0,001). Os erros cometidos pelos profissionais nos procedimentos de inser??o e manuten??o do cateter, associados ?s outras condi??es, mostraram-se como um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de IH
