Abstract
Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI) has become a focus of health care professionals, regulatory agencies, payers, and the public over the past few years. Our hospital has spent the last 3 years working with our teams to create a culture of safety around insertion and maintenance of central lines, resulting in a reduction in CLABSI rates. However, as we have not reached our goal of zero, we decided to take a closer look at our line utilization. There are data to support an increased risk of CLABSI associated with central line utilization and duration of line placement.
