Four year surveillance of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)

چکیده
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. Bedside nurses access infusion lines for administering medication, total parenteral nutrition and changing the line/connectors.

Compliance with prevention practices and their association with central line-associated bloodstream infections in neonatal intensive care units.
BACKGROUND Bundles and checklists have been shown to decrease the rates of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), but implementation of these practices and association with CLABSI rates have not been described nationally. We describe implementation and levels of compliance with preventive practices in a sample of US neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and assess their assoc...

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) remained a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in neonatal patients admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who require central line (CL) insertion for whatever medical reason. Recent introduction of CL bundle strategies was associated with a drop in the CLABSI rates. Data about the effect of CL bundle on the rate of C...

Background. Previous antimicrobial resistance (AR) reports from the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) have aggregated data across intensive care unit (ICU) types. Pediatric specific data are needed to guide prevention. We describe central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) pathogens and AR in pediatric and neonatal ICUs (PICUs and NICUs). Methods. Among pathogens implicated ...
