    Objective: To systematize and analyze the evidence on the effectiveness of interventions in preventing infection at the central venous catheter insertion site in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: A systematic review methodology was used, analyzing 10 scientific articles. The instruments included: Scielo, ISCIII, Scribd, Seden, Preevid, Murcia Salud, Jama, Horizonte, Sochinf, and Cochrane Plus. Results: 90% of the reviewed articles demonstrate that interventions to prevent infection at the central venous catheter insertion site in hemodialysis patients are effective. Additionally, 10% of the analyzed articles show that the use of chlorhexidine gluconate as an antiseptic is less effective as it does not reduce infectious episodes. Conclusions: 9 out of 10 articles evidence the effectiveness of interventions to prevent infection at the central venous catheter insertion site in hemodialysis patients. These interventions include the insertion and maintenance process of the central venous access. The nurse must observe and assess the condition of the insertion site and follow biosecurity and aseptic practices during the initiation, dressing, and completion of the procedure, emphasizing the importance of using chlorhexidine gluconate and mupirocin.
