Resumen

Background

Central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are among the most common hospital-acquired infections and can lead to increased patient morbidity and mortality rates. Implementation of practice guidelines and recommended prevention bundles has historically been suboptimal, suggesting that improvements in implementation methods could further reductions in CLABSI rates. In this article, we describe the agile implementation methodology and present details of how it was successfully used to reduce CLABSI.

Methods

We conducted an observational study of patients with central line catheters at 2 adult tertiary care hospitals in Indianapolis from January 2015 to June 2017.

Results

The intervention successfully reduced the CLABSI rate from 1.76 infections per 1,000 central line days to 1.24 (rate ratio = 0.70; P = .011). We also observed reductions in the rates of Clostridium difficile and surgical site infections, whereas catheter-associated urinary tract infections remained stable.

Conclusions

Using the AI model, we were able to successfully implement evidence-based practices to reduce the rate of CLABSIs at our facility.
