Excerpt:

Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) is defined as a laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection (not related to an infection at another site) where a central line was in place within 48 hour period before the development of bloodstream infection. Of all the health care associated infections, CLABSIs are the most costly, accounting for ~ $46,000 per case. A vast majority of the cases are preventable through proper aseptic techniques, surveillance, and management strategies.
