Learning Objectives
• Describe the steps to take if your unit’s infection rate is higher than zero
• Describe the “lessons learned” from others who have walked this process
![Page 3: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Infection rate above zero?
OrWere you at zero and then
had a spike in your infections?
![Page 4: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Spike in Infections?
We suggest walking the process from line placement to maintenance before adding new technologies.

Process Auditing
Patient Level --
• Was the checklist used?• Was the protocol followed?• Did everyone wear appropriate clothing?• Did someone speak up?• Was the dressing secured?• Was the site cleaned and maintained per protocol?• Did you use a preferred site for placement?• Did the line stay in longer than necessary?
![Page 6: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Process Audit: Lessons Learned
• Attributable infection definition misunderstood– ICU taking credit for infections identified within 72 hours of
being placed in the ED– ICU spread use of bundle to the ED
• Checklist used but nurses documenting noncompliance instead of stopping procedure– Nurses must be empowered to stop the procedure
• Nurses did not feel they had leadership support to stop the procedure– Leadership gave nurses a number to call if any problems
encountered
![Page 7: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Process Audit: Lessons Learned
• ICU was not asking daily if central line could be removed– Added question to Daily Goals worksheet
• Inconsistent compliance with scrubbing hub prior to accessing line– “Scrub the Hub” campaign in unit– Vascular access team and Infection Control
provided training to all staff who accessed lines

Standardize

Line Cart Contents – 4 drawers

Process Auditing
Unit Level:• % of time the IV administration set was replaced
per policy?• % of femoral lines versus IJ and SC?• % of time the checklist is used?• % of time the protocol is followed?• % of lines that could have been removed?• % of nurses that are comfortable stopping
procedure? Did they stop it when necessary?• % of lines that are changed after emergent
placement?

Process Audit: Lessons Learned
• One ICU’s central line infections associated with one particular provider– Identified providers given additional training
• Individual providers more comfortable with femoral site over IJ or SC– Identified providers given additional training on IJ
and SC insertions
![Page 13: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Process Audit: Lessons Learned
• Charge RN found a dozen full-barrier drapes in a storage drawer
• Identified ICU central line cart with ¾-length drape– Initiated routine training on cart equipment – Labeled cart with required equipment
• ICUs and step downs each had central line cart, but providers on floors used a bundle that was not complete– Developed new bundle
![Page 14: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Infrequent Infections?
![Page 15: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Infrequent Infections
• Consider each infection a defect worthy of a full analysis?
• Use a comprehensive tool to help identify the system defect– Learning from Defects Tool
• Develop a plan to prevent the system defect in the future
![Page 16: CLABSI Investigation Melinda Sawyer, RN, MSN, PCCN David A. Thompson DNSc, MS, RN.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d095503460f949daa68/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conclusion
• Ensure your unit is implementing recommendations for central line maintenance
• Identify your areas that need improvement• Develop a plan with your interdisciplinary team that
includes Infection Control staff• Implement plan and watch for results• Consider adding new technology if little or no
improvement but only after you are 100% compliant
