The current prevailing thought is that these infections are preventable when the insertion and care of catheters meet published guidelines. These documents use two approacheswork practice controls, which requires a change in human behavior, and engineering controls, which employs prod...

متن کاملEmergency Department Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) Incidence in the Era of Prevention Practices.
OBJECTIVES The incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) attributed to central venous catheters (CVCs) inserted in the emergency department (ED) is not widely reported. The goal was to report the incidence of ED CLABSI. Secondary goals included determining the effect of a CVC bundle introduced by the hospital infection prevention department to decrease CLABSI during t...
متن کاملPrepackaged central line kits reduce procedural mistakes during central line insertion: a randomized controlled prospective trial
BACKGROUND Central line catheter insertion is a complex procedure with a high cognitive load for novices. Providing a prepackaged all-inclusive kit is a simple measure that may reduce the cognitive load. We assessed whether the use of prepackaged all-inclusive central line insertion kits reduces procedural mistakes during central line catheter insertion by novices. METHODS Thirty final year m...
متن کاملFour year surveillance of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
Methods All laboratory confirmed blood cultures from the NICU were evaluated to determine CLABSI using the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definition prior and after 2008.The PICC team are specific bedside nurses trained to insert, monitor insertion site and line removal. They use age/weight specific skin antiseptics (2% CHG, 0.5% and 2% CHG in 70% alcohol) with designated equipment. ...
