How do we count number of central lines?

Template:Discussion

  • Julie, can you clarify how you do it. Is this correct? Trish Ostryzniuk 13:35, 2018 June 21 (CDT)

a.) Count the number of patients with a Central Line in place at 2300 hrs. The Statistician uses Central Venous Catheter at 2300 (TISS Item)? --Trish Ostryzniuk 19:26, 2013 May 14 (EDT)

b.) A patient with two or more Central Lines in place at the time of the count is counted as one patient with a Central Line on that day.

c.) Count the total number of patients who are in the ICU each day at the time of the line counts. Statistician using Registry Data to obtain admit date and time closet to 2300 hrs?--Trish Ostryzniuk 19:26, 2013 May 14 (EDT)

Arrives with Central Line

  1. If a patient is admitted to the ICU with a central line in place, is it counted in the central line days
    • Yes

Data Use

Julie reports line count for central line infection rates in Quarterly report and Annual report and for CCVSM. Since TISS28 will be collected and entered for entire LOS, Julie will utilize TISS28 & Registry Data for counts starting January, 1, 2013. Julie will need to post more information in regards how data is used. --Trish Ostryzniuk 19:11, 2013 May 14 (EDT)
