Central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI), is a substantial contributor to in-hospital morbidity and death, as well as increased cost and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). CLABSIs are one of the most deadly for each infection is expected to have a mortality rate of 12-25 percent. CLABSI prevention is important, and nurses play a vital role. Nurses are required to complete initial training as well as annual competence tests for central venous catheter protocol and other skills to ensure that they are delivering direct care to patients using the most up-to-date evidence-based practices.
Conclusion: CLABSI prevention bundles are the best method for implementing many interventions at once in addition to standardizing practice. Standard prevention bundles in addition to routine CLABSI education for staff are the most effective methods for preventing infection; it is inevitable that compliance with bundles will vary across healthcare institutions.
