The Best Care...Always! CLABSI bundle: Reducing CLABSI
in a public sector Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Pn Arina Jenkins A9 NICU Tygerberg
Children’s Hospital
Context
• 12 bed unit à Tygerberg Children’s Hospital • first to implement BCA CLABSI bundle in public sector -‐ 2012
• AdmiKng newborns – intensive, highly specialised care • TBH ↔ US with medical and nursing staff
• no baseline CLABSI data or prior surveillance • using results from first year to set targets:
■ ↓ CLABSI-‐rate ■ á compliance with bundle
Context
• 12 bed unit -‐ Tygerberg Children’s Hospital • admiKng newborns • medical and nursing staff • first to implement BCA CLABSI-‐Bundle 2012 • no CLABSI surveillance before • using results from first year as baseline
Aims
• ↓ CLABSI-‐rate • á Compliance with bundle
Problem
v HAI à CLABSI : á morbidity, mortality, healthcare costs Use of central lines -‐ unavoidable1 Neonates at increased risk v Public sector ¬ overcrowded ¬ infecTon control challenges ¬ difficult to isolate ¬ ↓ stock, staff ¬ rotaTng staff
v …….STILL CLABSI……! ↑ length of stay ↓ ability to admit
IntervenTon
Ø Formulated goals for 2nd year: § CLABSI rate < 4/1 000 line days § >95% compliance with CLABSI-‐bundle
Ø Implemented: § separate bundles established 1st year § changes in programme → report UAC → use hand hygiene tool -‐ with IHI model for improvement Ø Informed, trained, gained input
Ø on-‐the-‐spot teaching – surgeons, Ø anaestheTsts

Ø On-‐going moTvaTon: R support, compliance L root cause analysis → discuss problems « suggesTons -‐ new hydrophobic dressing -‐ reduce skin colonizaTon at inserTon sites 2
Ø Updated checklists, noTce boards J informaTve ® new changes ® safe pracTces J reinforce I stop unsterile procedures ? quesTon need for CL Ø weekly and monthly feedback ▪ management, staff, stakeholders ▪ CLABSI-‐surveillance, problems, plans Ø ProacTve Strategies → mulT-‐disciplinary

No needleless connector -‐ no CuTmed!
Please use………
THIS PROCEDURE MUST BE STOPPED ON ANY VIOLATION OF THIS PROTOCOL!
Applied CuTmed Sorbact over inserTon site (not UVC and UAC)
STll a need for CL? (If not, please moTvate removal!)
Dressing intact? Please change when loose/soiled/wet! No gauze!
Remember CuTmed Sorbact

Challenges & Lessons learned To sustain program: ü compose team to ensure on-‐going:
§ moTvaTon, educaTon, CLABSI surveillance, feedback ü on-‐going compliance -‐ bundle ü compleTon of checklists, safety cross, stats book -‐ ensure reliable data (already used for research) ü Spread the news, encourage collaboraTon
• The commitment and passion of staff to ↑ quality of care of our babies -‐ ↓ CLABSI • PosiTve feedback, success in ↓ CLABSI, made road easier v Challenge to reach goals set for 3rd year

CDC -‐ guidelines
PRIMARY CLABSI OR NOT?
PLEASE CHECK LAB. RESULTS EVERY DAY !
The CDC guidelines: -‐ A Recognized pathogen from at least one blood
culture, or -‐ A skin pathogen from 2 blood cultures -‐ A laboratory-‐confirmed bloodstream infecTon (LCBI)
where central line (CL) or umbilical catheter (UC) was in place for >2 calendar days on the date of event, with day of device placement being Day 1,
and a CL or UC was in place on the date of event or the day before. -‐ If a CL or UC was in place for >2 calendar days and
then removed, the LCBI criteria must be fully met on the day of disconTnuaTon or the next day.
-‐ No other documented primary site of infecTon -‐ One or more clinical signs of infecTon
