Central venous catheter-related infection: a cohort study evaluating dedicated central venous catheter packs

Central venous catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are the third most common healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in ICUs, associated with significant morbidity, mortality, increased length of stay and costs [1,2]. Several care bundle studies have suggested that utilising various strategies together (such as training, regular lines monitoring and using dedicated line insertion trolleys) can have a positive impact on CRBSI rates [3-6]. However, the impact solely attributable to the provision of a dedicated, stand-alone CVC insertion pack has not been evaluated. We therefore investigated the impact of a new EPIC2 compliant CVC pack, introduced in Good Hope Hospital in 2007, on CVC tip colonisation rates.
