CLABSI reduction in the ambulatory pediatric population

Abstract:

We conducted a quality improvement (QI) project from 2019 to 2021 at a single home health agency to reduce rates of central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in our ambulatory pediatric population. Annualized CLABSI rates per 1000 catheter line days decreased by 20% during the study period, from a rate of 1.023 to 0.810. This decrease was sustained in the 10-month post-study period with a center line shift 4 months after the study period, from 1.090 to 0.658.
