Impact of bundle for central line associated bloodstream infections prevention
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction / objectives Bundles have been developed to facilitate the application of infection control guidelines. Because in our institution the rates of central line associated bloodstream infections (CL-BSI) were above the international standards it was decided to implement a specific bundle through a multimodal approach. The aim of this study was to describe the strategy of bundle implementation for prevention of CL-BSI and to estimate their impact.

متن کاملImpact of universal disinfectant cap implementation on central line-associated bloodstream infections.
BACKGROUND Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) result in increased length of stay, cost, and patient morbidity and mortality. One CLABSI prevention method is disinfection of intravenous access points. The literature suggests that placing disinfectant caps over needleless connectors decreases CLABSI risk. METHODS A quasi-experimental intervention study was conducted in a >...
متن کاملCentral Line Bundle Implementation in US Intensive Care Units and Impact on Bloodstream Infections
BACKGROUND Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) represent a serious patient safety issue. To prevent these infections, bundled interventions are increasingly recommended. We examine the extent of adoption of Central Line (CL) Bundle elements throughout US intensive care units (ICU) and determine their effectiveness in preventing CLABSIs.
