Abstract

Central Line Associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) is High Risk and High Volume problem, it prolongs hospitalization by mean of 7 days. Attribute cost per blood stream infection are estimated to be between 3700 $ and 29000$. Central line (CL) bundle is evidence-based practices which when implemented has demonstrated striking reduction in the rate of both central line related infections.
