Brief Summary:
Insertion and maintenance of central venous catheter CVC lines are common hospital procedures in patients including those being treated for cancer CVCs allow clinicians an access point for infusion of fluids blood sampling and measurements decreasing the need for repeated needle sticks to the patient However bloodstream infections associated with CVCs CLABSIs are a serious complication leading to significantly longer hospital stays morbidity and mortality Keeping catheter ports disinfected reduces the risk of bloodstream infection however consistent and adequate maintenance and disinfection of the line can be difficult
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that passive disinfecting caps can provide a patient safety practice that is easy for clinicians to follow as well as providing easily auditable compliance which may lead to lower CLABSI rates
The compliance rate for needleless connector disinfection will be evaluated after implementation of the passive disinfecting cap and compared to the pre-intervention rate The CLABSI rates before and after cap implementation will also be compared
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that passive disinfecting caps can provide a patient safety practice that is easy for clinicians to follow as well as providing easily auditable compliance which may lead to lower CLABSI rates
The compliance rate for needleless connector disinfection will be evaluated after implementation of the passive disinfecting cap and compared to the pre-intervention rate The CLABSI rates before and after cap implementation will also be compared
Detailed Description:
Insertion and maintenance of central venous catheter CVC lines are common hospital procedures in patients including those being treated for cancer CVCs allow clinicians an access point for infusion of fluids blood sampling and measurements decreasing the need for repeated needle sticks to the patient However bloodstream infections associated with CVCs CLABSIs are a serious complication leading to significantly longer hospital stays morbidity and mortality Keeping catheter ports disinfected reduces the risk of bloodstream infection however consistent and adequate maintenance and disinfection of the line can be difficult
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that passive disinfecting caps can provide a patient safety practice that is easy for clinicians to follow as well as providing easily auditable compliance which may lead to lower CLABSI rates
Compliance is defined as following the protocol for disinfection of the catheter port In the pre-intervention period the disinfection protocol will utilize existing institution scrub-the-hub method Compliance in the pre-intervention period will be determined by survey
After the pre-intervention period is complete passive disinfecting devices caps will be implemented hospital-wide for any adult patient using CVC ports
In the intervention period the disinfection protocol consists of using the disinfecting barrier cap on every needless connector catheter port used for accessing CVC IV lines per protocol Compliance will be measured using observations according to a schedule to ensure the absence of a shift bias Observations will contain the number of needless connectors on CVCs with and the number of needleless connectors without disinfecting barrier caps attached
The compliance rate for needleless connector disinfection will be evaluated after implementation of the passive disinfecting cap and compared to the pre-intervention rate The CLABSI rates before and after cap implementation will also be compared
Incidence of CLABSI will be noted from existing aggregate hospital surveillance system data The incidence in terms of catheter days will be recorded for each assigned intervention ward and for intervention ward overall by month in the six months before the intervention and in the six-month intervention recording period
