According to the literature, the promotion of central vascular catheter (CVC) bundle care can effectively reduce central catheter-related blood stream infections. In 2009, density of infection for catheter-related bloodstream infections at our intensive care unit (ICU) was 3.3%. CVC bundle care was introduced at our ICU in February 2010, during which the density of infection was 3.7%; the density of infection remained high two months later. To investigate, a multifactorial analysis was conducted, which revealed that certain conditions disrupted the effectiveness of CVC bundle care, such as hand washing, cleaning and disinfecting the skin, the laying size of sterile towels, using incorrect disinfection techniques, and the daily assessment of the removal of the line. To enhance the implementation of the completion rate, we proposed several improvement measures, including providing on-the-job training, distributing informative, posters, health educational leafl ets, and training CDs, and conducting performance audits. Consequently, the completion rate of CVCinsertion improved from 47% to 97%, and the rate of comprehensive nursing care increased from 42.4% to 95.8%, resulting in an excellent density of infection of 0% from January to July of 2011. Therefore, the implementation of our suggestions resulted in a safe medical environment. |
