We recently presented the ISPD guideline of ruling out MRSA of the nares before the catheter is placed to our group of vascular surgeons. They voiced concerns for delaying treatment and patients access to care (adding additional appointments). What is the recommend process for following this guideline?

We do not perform preoperative MRSA screening but we systematically put Mupirocin around the exit-site on each dressing after PD initiation (without nares swabs) for every patient
