A multidisciplinary comprehensive nursing Management Approach for Catheter-related bloodstream infections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CR-BSI) stands as one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections, often resulting in high healthcare expenditure and mortality rates. Despite efforts, reducing the incidence of CR-BSI remains a significant challenge.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the impact of a multidisciplinary organizational intervention on reducing intravenous CR-BSI.

Methods

A quality improvement team was established to implement various interventions, utilizing the FOCUS-PDCA continuous quality improvement model and fishbone diagram for analysis and improvement.

Results

After the interventions, operational indicators for catheter insertion, maintenance, and removal improved from 82.50% ± 1.15%, 83.60% ± 1.60%, and 81.60%
