The CLABSI Playbook: Design and Implementation of a Multipronged Approach to Decrease CLABSIs

Journal for Healthcare Quality
ABSTRACT Central line–associated blood stream infections (CLABSIs) are a quality marker for the critical care environment. They have become an area of particular interest because they cost the healthcare system close to a billion dollars per year and have a significant impact on patient safety.

CLABSI Prevention - Using a 90 Day Sprint

American Journal of Infection Control, 2021
Background Most projects have longer timelines than we expect, but approaching a large project using a 90-day sprint approach can work when applied in the correct setting. Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) increased significantly across our eight-hospital healthcare system, beginning late in fourth quarter 2019 and extending ...

CLABSI (Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infection)

Asian Journal of Nursing Education and Research, 2022
The microorganism uses the person’s body to sustain itself, reproduce, and colonize. These infectious microscopic organisms are known as pathogens, and they can multiply quickly. A CLABSI is a serious infection that occurs in the blood stream due to catheter use. Central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) are a major cause of healthcare -

CLABSI Conversations

Quality Management in Health Care, 2016
A national collaborative helped many hospitals dramatically reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), but some hospitals struggled to reduce infection rates. This article describes the development of a peer-to-peer assessment process (CLABSI Conversations) and the practical, actionable practices we discovered that helped ...

Reduction of CLABSI in the Trauma Population

American Journal of Infection Control, 2011
Issue: Despite the use of evidence based best practices regarding central venous catheters (CVCs), we continued see high CLABSI rates in a few areas of our hospital, including our trauma units. In 2005, the CLABSI rate for our trauma patients was 14.3/1000 central line (CL) days, a rate nearly double the mean rate of 7.4/1000 CL days for trauma units ...

CLABSI and Bundle Adherence

Central venous access devices (CVADs), or central lines, are often a necessary component to the care delivery protocol to complex patient populations. The central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) associated with the use of these devices has been related to adverse patient outcomes, and high cost for facilities.

Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI)

2018
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) represent a significant threat to patient safety in pediatrics. Many CLABSIs can be prevented by utilizing proven strategies for central line insertion and maintenance. Reliable CLABSI surveillance data form the foundation of hospital infection prevention efforts.
