The Critical Care QI Team is monitoring Central Line Infections in the ICUs. This project is in collaboration with CCVMS which is a cross Canada ICU collaborative project.

Data Collection Instructions

For all ICU patients except STB_CICU & CCU:

If a patient

• develops a Complication of Central Line Infection while in your unit
• the CLR-BSI is newly acquired on your unit and not already reported at different unit
• there is a positive culture (no positive culture, don't code)

then

• CLI Call Basil Evan if MICU/SICU/IICU phone:787-8794
• make the following entry in tmp:

• Project: QAInf
• Item: CLI
• date_var: date (no time) positive blood culture was sent to micro lab.

Don't use TMP as notes

Please do not enter this TMP until you have actually confirmed a DX of CLI exists. Use the Notes field on you laptop as a reminder if needed.

Patient from other ICU with Central Line and possibly CLI

If Patient already has a CLR-BSI present on admission to your unit:

• in the admitting diagnosis field, enter Central Line Infection.
• do not enter into Tmp project.
• if the patient is from another ICU in the city, email the collector at that site to check if CLR_BSI was captured as a complication at that site.
