What are effective interventions to decrease CLABSIs in the long term acute care population?
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the impact of quality improvement interventions on central line–associated bloodstream infections in adult intensive care units. Studies were identified through Medline and manual searches (1995–June 2012). The results suggest that quality improvement interventions contribute to the prevention of central line–associated bloodstream infections. Implementation of care bundles and checklists appears to yield stronger risk reductions.
