Abstract Central line-associated bloodstream infection is an important healthcare- associated infection in the critical care units. It causes substantial morbidity, mortality and incurs high costs. The use of central venous line bundle has been shown to decrease the incidence of CLABSls. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of implementing central line bundle care on reducing blood stream infection among critical ill patients. Design: a quasi-experimental study. Setting: the study was carried out at Medical Intensive Care Units at El- Hussein Hospital, AI-azhar University. Study subjects: a purposive sample of 60 adult patients with different age group and gender were included in this study. Data collection tools: structured patient assessment sheet and assessment sheet for insertion site. Results: there was no statistically significance difference between study an-cl control group regarding cental line associated blood stream infection in which study group show lower incidence of CLABSls than control group. there was statistically significant relation between central line associated blood stream infection and use of mechanical ventilator and additional antibiotics. there was statistically significant relation between central line associated blood stream infection and increased length of ICU stay Conclusion: applying central line bundle care during insertion and maintain daily care after insertion decrease the incidence on central line infection. Recommendations: this study recommends The importance of implementation of central venous line bundle in intensive care units and emphasis on bundle compliance. |
