Results The findings substantiate the association between CLABSI and the hospital mortality rate, LOS, and readmission. Patients with a CVC who develop a CLABSI were 36.6% more likely to die in the hospital and 37.0% more likely to be readmitted compared with patients with a CVC who did not ...
(HealthDay)—Among critically ill neonates and children, the rates of central catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) remained stable from 2013 to 2018, while population-based catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) rates decrease
Standardized central line and foley catheter maintenance bundles were developed based on current infection prevention evidence-based guidelines. In August 2021, the maintenance bundles were implemented on every unit and education was provided to nursing unit leaders and staff by the infection prevention ...
Results: The infection density during to 2014 July to September was down to 0‰. Conclusions: The application of Care bundle for central-line insertion and strategies are effective to reduce the infection rate in ICU, and it also decrease the length of hospitalization.Cited...
The CLABSI National Healthcare Safety Network Standardized Infection Ratio (SIR) pre-implementation was 2.84 and post-implementation was 2.83 [p = 1.00]. CONCLUSION. A physician-led, once weekly prospective audit and feedback of central line necessity led to a substantial decline in central line ...
Nurses, however, struggle with compliance to this recommendation, leaving patients with central lines vulnerable to infection. Further, some research suggests that manual disinfection may be insufficient to disinfect heavily contaminated connectors. The purpose of this implementation research study was to ...
“I had an interest in silver-plated wound dressings from prior work that we published,” he said. “In a prospective, randomized trial, [silver-plated dressings] demonstrated a 60% reduction in wound infection in patients undergoing colon and recta...

RESULTS. Rate of MBI-CLABSI were steady from 2020-2022 (0.24) and increased to 1.11 per 1,000 central line days in 2023 in patients with AML or ALL. Standard infection ratio of 3.69, p-value 0.0001. 85.7% (n=12/14) MBI-CLABI occurred in patients who had received prophylactic ...
