Controlling catheter-related bloodstream infections through a multicentre educational programme for intensive care units
Journal of Hospital Infection Aug 25, 2017
Musu M, et al. – The authors sought to determine whether an educational program addressed at healthcare workers resulted in a significant change in the level and trend of infections. Observations revealed a decrease in bloodstream infections (BSIs) associated with insertion and maintenance of central venous catheters (CR–BSIs) with implementation of an educational programme focussing on general good infection control practice, rather than CVC care bundles, however, the improvement was not sustained over time. They recommend providing continuous performance feedback to promote long–term adherence to guidelines among all health workers.
