Background summary
Bloodstream infections and central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are a commonly encountered complication in hospitalized infants and result in increased length of stay, cost, morbidity and mortality. Healthcare workers often do not apply an appropriate heb desinfection. The antiseptic barrier cap is developed to improve disinfection procedures. This observational study evaluate the incidence of bloodstream infections and the rate of central line associated bloodstream infections in infants and children addmitted to a neonatal and pediatric intensive care. Adherence to the barrier protocol will be measured.
Study objective
The antiseptic barrier cap reduce the incidence of bloodstream infections and the rate of central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) per 1.000 central line days among infants admitted on the neonatal intensive care unit and the paediatric intensive care unit.
Study design
preintervention: 24 months
intervention: 12 months
Intervention
An antiseptic barrier cap will be investigated in a NICU and PICU setting, which is developed to improve disinfection procedures and helps to prevent bloodstream infections and CLABSIs by optimizing hub disinfection through cleaning of the catheter hub without active scrubbing.
Inclusion criteria
All infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with peripheral catheter, tunneled and non-tunneled central venous catheters, and/or umbilical catheters.
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit all children with a tunneled and non-tunneled central venous catheters, and/or umbilical catheters and combined with a periferal catheter.
