Aim:
To review care practices and methods of implementation that reduce the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI).
Methods:
Medical and quality improvement-oriented literature was reviewed.
Results:
Although effective catheter practices, equipment and staff training methods are available to reduce CLABSI, their implementation is often difficult.
Conclusion:
A successful CLABSI reduction programme requires not only identification of best practices but also understanding of the specific context or unit culture into which they will be introduced.
