Bloodstream Infections and Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2014It is estimated that more than 575,000 individuals develop bloodstream infections (BSI) annually in North America, accounting for nearly 80,000 deaths. Central line-associated BSI (CLABSI) is a major contributor to the cost of health care. Although primary BSI may be seen by the surgeon, a secondary BSI is more likely to be encountered, especially ...

Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections: Prevention and Management
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2011Approximately 80,000 central venous line-associated bloodstream infections (CLA-BSI) occur in the United States each year. CLA-BSI is most commonly caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida spp, and aerobic gram-negative bacilli.

Central line-associated bloodstream infection prevention
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2012This review summarizes recent literature regarding the prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI).CLABSI rates in United States ICUs reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) have decreased dramatically in recent years. This has been achieved largely through a multifaceted approach and a focus on evidence-based

Economics of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections
American Journal of Medical Quality, 2006Hospital-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 ...

Diagnosing and Reporting of Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2012Background.The diagnosis of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) is often controversial, and existing guidelines differ in important ways.Objective.To determine both the range of practices involved in obtaining blood culture samples and how central line-associated infections are diagnosed and to obtain members' opinions regarding ...

Probabilistic Measurement of Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2015OBJECTIVETo develop a probabilistic method for measuring central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates that reduces the variability associated with traditional, manual methods of applying CLABSI surveillance definitions.DESIGNMulticenter retrospective cohort study of bacteremia episodes among patients hospitalized in adult patient-care ...

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
2014Different 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 ...
