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

  • 100 for all patients with one or more central lines (CL) as indicated by presence of Central Venous Catheter at 2300 (TISS Item)
    • A central lines (CL) is a central venous catheters (CVC) that 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.
  • 100% sampling for all cases with CLA-BSI incidence following the criteria listed in CLA-BSI

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

Definition and Derivation

CLA-BSI per 1000 Central line days.

Numerator

Denominator

Total Number of Central Line days at 2300 HR of a reporting period

Reporting Period

  • Monthly
