Preventing CLABSI in critical care patients

Abstract:

Currently, the Centers for Disease Control reports close to 40,000 central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) occur in acute care facilities in the United States each year. Most are considered preventable. Evidence-based practices such as the CLABSI bundle and central line maintenance bundles have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing CLABSI. This article reviews these best practices and provides a framework for consistent implementation.
