End of Year Data CLABSI (December 17)
Data presented at January MiST meeting.
All seven units submitting data continue to show improvement.
Interventions introduced by units include coated lines, body washes, biopatches, bionectors & parafilm.
There was a perception at the meeting that the most significant reduction followed the introduction of biopatches.
Future pans:
- Units using biopatches planning will combine run rate data for future publication.
- All units to be surveyed to establish a table of active interventions to place above table in greater context.
- Further units expected to submit data in 2016
