Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection (CRBSI) Vascular Catheter-Related Infections


Central-line catheters provide life-saving treatments, but they can also lead to dangerous catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). In this webinar, the evidence-based methods for preventing, monitoring, and reporting potential CRBSIs are discussed.


Presenter: David P. Calfee ACUTE CARE


Vascular Access: Connection without Infection Needleless connectors, intravenous system access sites, stopcocks, and catheter hubs are essential techno- logical components of life-saving or life-sustaining access to the venous and arterial system. Best practice pathogenesis-based prevention protocols and technology assessment are presented to minimize the risk of vascular access device infections.

Access Site and Hub Disinfection: The Missing Link in the CRBSI Prevention Bundle


The disinfection of injection ports first appeared in the CDC Guidelines for Prevention of Intravascular Cath- eter Infection in 1982, however compliance with the recommendation has been poor. Colonization of the internal lumen of catheter hubs is the most significant risk factor for CRBSI within one week of insertion. This presentation reviews existing science and procedure recommendations for access site and catheter hub/ stopcock disinfection.
