To decrease the rate of central line associated blood stream infections To increase knowledge on the purpose and effectiveness of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) baths in preventing CLABSI's To understand the proper documentation of CHG baths in Cerner Central Line: An intravascular catheter that terminates at or close to the heart in one of the great vessels Used for infusions, withdrawal of blood, or hemodynamic monitoring CLABSI: A laboratory confirmed bloodstream infection where the central line was in place >2 calendar days on the date of the even Broad spectrum anti-microbial properties Works against MRSA and VRE Low toxicity Immediate and long-acting protection NPSG.07.03.01 Use proven guidelines to prevent infections that are difficult to treat. NPSG.07.04.01 Use proven guidelines to prevent infection of the blood from central lines. Medications, catheter changes, lab tests, ICU transfers Each CLABSI costs about $16, 550 per patient As of 2008, hospitals are not reimbursed by CMS for CLABSIs that were not present on admission Between 12-15% of patients who acquire a CLABSI die Roughly 250,000 cases per year 62,000 patients die Extended hospital stays Bayfront Rate Florida Rate United Rate CLABSI Rates: of Infection: 1.11 CLABSI Rates: of Infection: 0.57 States CLABSI Rates: of Infection: 0.56 Rizzo, E. (2014). Plan-Do-Study-Act Improvement Method Cause & Effects Analysis- Fishbone Diagram Process Flow Charting Nurse receives report that patient has a PICC line At an appropriate time, the nurse prepares to give CHG bath Chlorhexidine gluconate wipes gathered from supply room Use new CHG wipe for each area of the body Wipe only from the neck down, clean to dirty Nurse begins CHG bath with wipes Document CHG Bath in Cerner Monitor for signs & symptoms of possible infection Remind the next nurse about CHG bath protocol at shift-change Nurse Manager Registered Nurses Patient Care Techs PICC Nurses Track the number of line days for each patient with a central line Documentation of chlorhexidine gluconate baths given to patients with a central line Track and document the patients that develop central line associated blood stream infections Results for CLASBI indicate a 53% rate reduction during CHG intervention (Karki 2012) In one community hospital, CLASBI rates decreased from 3.8 to 1.6 per 1000 central line days, in 6 months of beginning the CHG bath intervention (Miller 2012) VISION CLASBI is largely preventable and a rate of ZERO is an achievable goal (Miller 2012) Proper CHG Techniques to Perform CHG Baths: wipes should not come into contact with eyes or ears Only use CHG wipes below the jaw line Use a firm massage to remove bacteria Use a new cloth for each area of the body Let CHG air dry- do not wipe or rinse off Do not use soap and water on the skin after CHG baths Dispose of CHG wipes in the trash DO NOT flush CHG baths should be given DAILY IV Care IV PICC Line Site CHG Bath Yes/No Float nurses will need to be educated about the CHG bath protocol for patients with central lines Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (2014).
