Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of target monitoring and intervention combination strategies on prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods Target monitoring and intervention combination strategies were implemented in patients with central venous catheters in ICU since January 2015. 372 patients with central venous catheters in 2014 were selected as the control group, and 426 patients who received target monitoring and intervention combination strategy were taken as the intervention group. The incidence rates of CRBSI in two groups were compared. Results There were 5 cases of infection in the intervention group, and the incidence rate of infection was 1.17%; there were 13 cases of infection in the control group, and the incidence rate of infection was 3.49% (χ2=13.38, P<0.05). The incidence rate of CRBSI in the intervention group was 1.41‰, while it was 4.17‰ in the control group (χ2=8.94, P<0.05). Conclusions Target monitoring and intervention combination strategies can significantly reduce the incidence of CRBSI in patients with central venous catheters in ICU.
