Economics of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections

American Journal of Medical Quality, 2006
Hospital-acquired infections add considerable morbidity and mortality to patient care. However, a detailed economic analysis of these infections on an individual case basis has been lacking. The authors examined both the hospital revenues and expenses in 54 cases of patients with central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABs) over 3 years in 2 ...

Preventing Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2015
(CHSS)-coated catheters to minocycline-rifampin (MR)coated catheters led to a significant reduction in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in a busy surgical ICU, with relatively low baseline CLABSI rates. This is not surprising based on a meta-analysis regarding these catheters.

Biofilm-Based Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections

2014
Different types of central venous catheters (CVCs) have been used in clinical practice to improve the quality of life of chronically and critically ill patients. Unfortunately, indwelling devices are usually associated with microbial biofilms and eventually lead to catheter-related bloodstream infections (CLABSIs).An estimated 250,000-400,000 CLABSIs ...

Eradicating Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections Statewide

American Journal of Medical Quality, 2011
The authors' goal was to determine if a national intensive care unit (ICU) collaborative to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) would succeed in Hawaii. The intervention period (July 2009 to December 2010) included a comprehensive unit-based safety program; a multifaceted approach to CLABSI prevention; and monitoring of ...
