  1. REDUCING CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER RELATED BLOOD STREAM INFECTIONS Presented by: Stephen Jaime, RN Juanita Martinez, RN Ashley Valencia, RN Jennifer Valenzuela, RN

  2. CATHETER RELATED BLOOD STREAM INFECTIONS(CRBSI) • Morbidity: 250,000 cases of central line associated bloodstream infections occur in US hospitals annually (CDC 2003). • Mortality: Approximately 30,000 to 62,000 patients who get CRBSI die (CDC 2003). • Reducing catheter related blood stream infections is a 2008 National Patient Safety Goal.

  3. CRBSIPORTS OF ENTRY

  4. CAUSES ofHUBCOLONIZATION • Skin contamination • Inadequate hand hygiene • Failure to use aseptic technique • Frequent opening and manipulation • Failure to change needle-free system

  5. Needle-Free Access Devices Split Septum Negative Pressure Neutral Displacement Positive Pressure

  6. PICO • Does the use of specific needle-free connectors decrease the incidence of central venous catheter related blood stream infections (CRBSI) in adult patients?

  7. PICO • Population: Adult patients with CVC • Intervention: Standardize the use of neutral displacement needle free connectors in all units • Current Practice: The use of positive pressure, negative pressure, and neutral displacement needle-free connectors • Outcome: Decrease CVC blood stream infections

  8. Staff Query • In October 2008, clinical staff at ECRMC were unaware of the role that a needle-free connector has in reducing CRBSI • Clinical staff were unaware of differences between needle-free connectors

  9. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Databases Used: Key Search Terms: • CINAHL • EBSCO Host • Cochrane Library • CDC • Google Scholar • Medline Plus • Web MD • Central venous catheters • Blood stream infections • Negative and positive pressure needle-free valves • Mechanical valves • CRBSI • Hub colonization • Needless IV access devices

  10. BODY OFEVIDENCE Out of 22 articles, 10 articles were relevant to the clinical issue

  11. EVIDENCEHIERARCHY • Systems: 1 • Synopses of Synthesis: 9 • Synthesis: 1 • Synopsis of Single Studies: 8 • Single Studies: 3

  12. RESEARCH ANALYSIS • The most common cause of tip and hub colonization is frequent opening & manipulation • Improper maintenance techniques contribute to colonization • In a randomized study of 352 heart surgery patients, CVC’s with neutral displacement were less likely to have hub colonization *p value = 0.0001 (Bouza, 2003) • This is statistically significant.

  13. Research Continued • Split septum • May have increased occlusions • Negative pressure at disconnect • Negative pressure needle-free connectors • Allow blood to infiltrate hub • May increase BSI • Positive pressure needle-free connectors • May increase BSI • May be linked to improper technique of clinical user, and mechanism failure

  14. RESEARCH CONTINUED • Neutral displacement needle-free connectors • Inhibit blood regression into hub • Are associated with decreased BSI rates • In one particular study, Johns Hopkins Hospital switched to positive pressure valves from neutral displacement and saw increased infection rates. • Rates per 1,000 catheter days increased from 1.50 with neutral displacement to 2.40 with positive pressure in the ICU p = 0.05 (Jarvis, 2006) • Johns Hopkins returned to neutral displacement

  15. Research Conclusions • Neutral displacement needle-free connectors may reduce BSI. • Conflicting research on positive pressure needle-free connectors exists • Further research needs to be conducted on the issue

  16. CURRENT PRACTICE(Fall 2008) • Neutral displacement needle-free connectors are not currently used on CVCs at ECRMC. • No specific policy exists R/T changing connectors. • Multiple connector types are used throughout the hospital

  17. INTERVENTIONS • Standardize needle-free neutral displacement connectors throughout ECRMC. • Institute a connector change policy per manufacturer’s recommendation. • Implement proper disinfection technique every time port is accessed. • Educate staff on maintaining line sterility. • Using sterile caps when IV tubing is disconnected. • Include the infection control specialist for standardization.

  18. CHANGE THEORY • Stage 1: FROZEN • Motivation to change • Stage 2: UNFROZEN • Change what needs to be changed • Stage 3: REFREEZING • Making a permanent change Lewin/ Schein’s Change Theory

  19. Stake holders Management: Clinical: • Board of Trustees • CEO • Chief Nursing Officer • Department Manager • Case Manager • Clinical Manager • Clinical Educator • Charge Nurses • Clinical Staff • Infection Control

  20. Swot Analysis Strength Weakness • May decrease BSI • Easy to implement • Low cost • Further research needed • Conflicting research R/T positive pressure valves. Opportunities Threats • 2009 Safety Goal • Better patient outcomes • Implementation ease • Low cost change • Hospital Savings • Resistance to change • Knowledge deficit

  21. COST/BENEFITS • Blood stream infections extend hospital stay with a cost of $33,000 to $35,000 per patient. • Medi-care/ Medi-cal will no longer reimburse for hospital acquired infections. • Saline flush instead of heparin flushes are required for neutral displacement connectors. • Specific type of neutral displacement connectors are as low as $1.07 each (Hospital Materials Management, 2008)
