Significance
CLA-BSIs increase morbidity, mortality and costs. It can be prevented using evidence-based interventions. This measure can be used to detect changes related to implementation or lack of adherence to these best practices.
Sampling Plan / Procedure
All patients with one or more central venous catheters (CVCs) are included in the sample. A CVC terminates at or close to the heart or one of the great vessels. Great vessels include the pulmonary artery, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, brachiocephalic, internal jugular, subclavian, external iliac and the common femoral veins.
Includion Criteria
CVCs include percutaneous non-tunnelled, tunnelled (e.g. Hickman), peripherally inserted (PICC) and pulmonary artery catheters.
Exclusion Criteria
This does not include totally implanted devices (e.g. Ports), arterial catheters, pacemaker leads and other non-infusion devices.
Frequency
- Daily.
- Quarterly - the total number of CVC days and the number of CLA_BSI based on the definition Iatrogenic, infection, central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection (CVC-BSI, CLI)
Definition and Derivation
CLA-BSI per 1000 Central line days.
