report‚ the most common Healthcare Associated Infection are Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections or CLABSI. With nearly 50% of all ICU patients requiring a central line‚ the amount of recorded CLABSI infections is extremely high. The research on CLABSI indicates the most common pathogens are Staphylococcus Aureus‚ Enterococci‚ and Candida. To better understand the nature of CLABSI incident and therefore employ prevention strategies one must understand the dynamic of a central line. The National

While formal research was not conducted‚ efforts to reduce the infections throughout the hospital were associated with evidence based practice initiatives recommended and published by the CDC (2011)‚ The steps in the initiative‚ also known as bundles and were initiated after the healthcare system collaborate group’s work. The hospital wide interventions using the CLABSI prevention bundles resulted

bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in intensive care units is an ongoing problem in many hospitals in the country and around the world. Master’s degree prepared nurse Antoinette C. Lopez states that approximately 15 million patients experience central line infections each year in intensive care units (Lopez‚ 2011). It not only affects the patient‚ but also the healthcare team caring for the patient and the hospital. According to nurses Jessica M. Dixon and Robin L. Carver (2010)‚ CLABSIs can affect the morbidity

Healthcare institutes today are facing a major problem with centrally-line- associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). CLABSIs occur commonly and are the most potentially preventable source if morbidity. This research was conducted to see how central line bundles could be use to eliminate CLABSIs. According to the Sutter Roseville medical center (SRMC)‚ they have seven years of zero CLABSIs‚ by using a broader approach of the central line buddle rather then the conventional buddle required by the
