Introduction
 CLABSI (central line associated blood-
stream infection)is the most serious HAI.
 It is preventable through complete
adherence to aseptic protocols, surveillance,
and management measures
Definition
1. CLABSI is a laboratory confirmed
bloodstream infection in which central line
is in place within 48 hours before the
development of the bloodstream infection
–haddadin and ragunath, 2017
Causes
• Coagulase – negative staphylococci
• Enterococci – (vancomycin-
resistant enterococci )
• MRSA – positive staphylococcus
aureus
• Klebsiella
• Pseudomonus
• Acinetobacter
• Escheichia coli
Risk factor
 Immunocompromised state- Neutrogena, diabetes
mellitus, and bone marrow transplant or organ
transplant recipient
 Prolonged hospitalization before catheter insertion
 Total parental nutrition and dialysis
 Chronic illness
 Extremes of age
 Burns and other skin pathology
Pathophysiology
Breach in aseptic precaution at the time of insertion
Hub contamination through Breach in aseptic handling
of catheter
Infusing contaminated fluids
Migration of organism from the contaminated skin
through the exit point of the lumen of catheter
Clinical manifestation
 Fever with chills
 Neutropenia
 Hypotension
Cont…
 Pus or drainage around exit site
 Redness, induration, and swelling at
insertion site
 Pain
 Poor or no return blood flow from venous
access
Management
 After taking blood culture, empirical
antibiotic therapy may be started
 On receiving culture report based on the
sensitivity, systemic antibiotic therapy
should be started and may be given for 2
week duration
 If CLABSI is proven, the catheter can be
removed and tip sent for culture and
sensitivity
Cont…
In hemodialysis, topical and systemic
antibiotic therapy may be initially attempted
 In case of tunneled catheter getting infected,
it needs to be removed
Prevention
 The society for health care epidemiology of
America and infectious diseases society of
America (SHEA / IDSA) guidelines are give
as follows :
Classification
• Catheter maintenance bundle
• At the time of central line insertion
• CLABSI/ CRBSI prevention:
At the time of central line insertion
 Perform hand hygiene with soap and water of foam
or alcohol-based gels
 Ensure adherence to infection control protocol
while central line insertion using a checklist
 Use of gloves does not prevent hand hygiene
 Avoid using the femoral vein for central venous
access in obese adult patients
 Do not use peripheral inserted CVCs as a strategy
to reduce risk of CLABSI
Cont…
 Use maximum sterile barrier precautions
during CVC insertion, which include wearing
sterile PPE and draping the whole body with a
large sterile sheet
 For smooth complication-free internal jugular
catheter insertion, use ultrasound guidance
 Apply an alcohol based or chlorhexidine
antiseptic solution for skin preparation before
puncture
 Maintain appropriate nurse-patient ratio
 Before touching the patient and the central venous
access, perform hand hygiene
 Catheter hubs, needleless connectors, and injection
ports need to be disinfected by using sterile swab and
70 % alcohol or providing-iodine /chlorhexidine based
solution before accessing the central line
 Apply mechanical friction for no less than 5 seconds
before touching any part of tubing hubs or connectors
or ports to reduce contamination
• CLABSI/ CRBSI prevention:
Catheter maintenance bundle
Cont…
 Use central vascular access to the period
most necessary.
 Remove unwanted extension catheters.
 Regularly assess the need for central venous
access and if not accessory remove it at the
earliest.
 For non tunneled catheter, change the soiled
dressing at once, if there is gauze dressing,
change the dressing with all aseptic
precautions once in 2 days. In case of
transparent dressing, it can be changed once
in 5 to 7 days time.
Blood sets have to changed in 24 hours time.
Iv sets used for infusing lipid emulsion,
propofol, need to be changed in 12 hours time .
Iv lines can be changed at least within 96
hours.
 Use antimicrobial locks.
Summary
Conclusion
Do you have
any doubt ???
 What is the full form of CLABSI ?
 what signs and symptoms will
occur after CLABSI ?
 Which are two key times to
prevent CLABSI ?
