ChloraPrep friction applicators provide a convenient way to scrub insertion sites with a 2% chlorhexidine/ 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, which has been proven more effective than povidone-iodine and is recommended by the CDC as well as the 100,000 Lives Campaign Proxima Full Body Central Line Drape Two for jugular, subclavian or femoral Two for brachial, antecubital, or radial And PICC Lines Daily Central Line Review Sheet (See the enclosed sheet inside the pocket folder) DYNJP4117 Full Body Central Line Drape DYNJP4120 Maximal Sterile Barrier Precautions Kit Available February 2006 DYND75222 Central Line Change Tray DYND75223 Central Line Change Tray DYNJP4117 Full Body Central Line Drape Approximately 250,000 central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections occur each year in U.S. hospitals, with associated mortality of 12% to 25%. In ICUs, these infections cause an estimated 14,000 to 28,000 deaths per year. Additional cost to the healthcare system is approximately $25,000 per infection. On average, a bloodstream infection adds seven days to a hospital stay. TARGETED BY PATIENT CARE INITIATIVES The Institute for Healthcare Improvement s 100,000 Lives Campaign names prevention of central line infections as one of six changes for improving care. The JCAHO 2006 National Patient Safety Goals for Hospitals include reduce the risk of health care-associated infections as goal #7. A PLAN FOR PREVENTION The 100,000 Lives Campaign recommends implementing a set of evidence-based interventions, together called the Central Line Bundle, to reduce the occurrence of central line infections. POTENTIAL IMPACT OF INTERVENTIONS A four-year study in Pennsylvania found a 68% reduction in bloodstream infections among ICU patients after implementing a group of care components similar to the central line bundle. SUPPORT FROM CDC AND APIC: Recommendations in the CDC s Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections are similar to those in the Central Line Bundle. According to APIC, The elements of this central line bundle are identical to those stressed and taught by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC) and the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC). References CDC. Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections. MMWR 2002:51(RR-10).

5 PRODUCT INFORMATION Proxima Full-Body Central Line Drape An important part of Maximal Barrier Precautions in the fight against central line infections. The role of maximal barrier precautions in preventing central line infections: The use of maximal barrier precautions (i.e., cap, mask, gown, gloves, and full-body drape) when inserting central lines is supported by research and recommended by current patient care initiatives. A study of cancer center patients found that the use of maximal barrier precautions during central venous catheter insertion reduced the risk of bloodstream infections. When only gloves and a small drape were used, the risk of infection was 6.3 times greater. 1 CDC guidelines recommend aseptic technique including the use of a cap, mask, sterile gown, sterile gloves, and a large sterile sheet for the insertion of CVCs [central venous catheters]. 2 The 100,000 Lives Campaign also recommends maximal barrier precautions, including covering the patient from head to toe with a sterile drape, with a small opening for the site of insertion. 3 One Drape One Solution Multiple Access Points For Convenience And Versatility Two for jugular, subclavian or femoral Two for brachial, antecubital, or radial One Drape One Solution All Access Sites The Proxima central line drape: A maximum sterile barrier with added features for convenience. Provides full-body coverage in accordance with current guidelines for preventing central line infections. Multiple access points for convenience and versatility.

6 POLICY & PROCEDURE PREVENTION OF CENTRAL LINE INFECTIONS BY IMPLEMENTING THE "CENTRAL LINE BUNDLE": HAND HYGIENE MAXIMAL BARRIER PRECAUTIONS SKIN ANTISEPSIS CATHETER SITE SELECTION DAILY REVIEW POLICY STATEMENT: To reduce the patient's risk of acquiring an intravascular catheter-related infection following insertion of a central venous or pulmonary catheter through the use of a "Central Line Bundle" protocol that outlines appropriate hand hygiene, maximal sterile barriers, chlorhexidine skin antiseptic, catheter site selection, and daily review. PURPOSE: Because central line catheters provide direct vascular access to patients for the administration of fluids/medications, blood products, blood sampling, and hemodynamic monitoring, they disrupt skin integrity, making infection with bacteria and/or fungi possible. Infection may spread to the bloodstream, causing sepsis with hemodynamic changes, organ dysfunction, and ultimately death. 1 Studies suggest that bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a serious complication affecting between 87,500 and 350,000 patients annually and are associated with high mortality and excess costs. 2 HAND HYGIENE: Caregivers should wash hands (or use an alcohol-based waterless cleanser) before and after inserting or otherwise handling an intravascular catheter, as well as before and after palpating insertion sites. MAXIMAL BARRIER PRECAUTIONS: Before placing a central line, caregivers should don a cap, mask, sterile gown, and gloves. In addition, they should cover the patient s entire body with a sterile drape, leaving only a small opening at the insertion site. Skin Antisepsis: Skin should be scrubbed with a solution containing 2% chlorhexidine/ 70% isopropyl alcohol and allowed to dry completely before the site is punctured. on the reverse side: Catheter Site Selection Daily Review Maximum Sterile Barrier Procedure

7 Catheter Site Selection: The subclavian vein is the preferred site for nontunneled catheters in adults and should be used whenever possible instead of the jugular or femoral site. Daily Review: Lines that are no longer clearly needed should be removed promptly. Maximal Sterile Barrier Procedure: 3 1. Place surgical cap on head to cover all hair and then place surgical mask. 2. Cleanse hands according to hospital recommended policy and procedure. 3. Aseptically don surgical gown. 4. Aseptically don surgical gloves. 5. Prep catheter insertion site with ChloraPrep. 6. Place full-body sterile drape to cover patient aseptically while maintaining the sterile field. References: (1) Earsing, KA, Baugher-Hobson, D, White, KM. Preventing Central Line Infection.

8 COMPETENCY STATEMENT & SKILLS VALIDATION TOOL COMPETENCY: CENTRAL LINE BUNDLE COMPETENCY STATEMENT Good hand hygiene before central line insertion, combined with proper aseptic technique during catheter placement, has been proven to provide protection against infection. Maximal sterile barrier precautions include a surgical cap, mask, sterile gown, sterile gloves, and a full-body sterile drape during the insertion of central line catheters. Proper skin antisepsis is critical prior to insertion of central line catheters to reduce local skin flora and to prevent rapid rebound growth of microorganisms on the skin s surface following catheter insertion. The site at which a catheter is placed influences the subsequent risk for catheter-related infection and phlebitis. Daily review of central lines is a necessity, with documentation in the medical record. MEASURABLE CRITERIA Good hand hygiene can be achieved through the use of either a waterless, alcohol-based product or an antibacterial soap and water with adequate rinsing. Implementation of maximal sterile barrier precautions during the insertion of central line catheters has been shown to substantially reduce the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections as compared with sterile precautions (e.g., sterile gloves and small drape). Optimal skin antisepsis is achieved when skin is prepared with a solution containing 2% chlorhexidine/ 70% isopropyl alcohol and allowed to dry completely before the site is punctured. Authorities recommend that central venous catheters be placed in a subclavian site instead of a jugular or femoral site to reduce the risk of infection. A daily review of the catheter patency and insertion site is necessary, combined with the daily question, "Is this catheter necessary or can it be removed?" RATIONALE The purpose of good hand hygiene is to remove debris and transient microorganisms from the hands, to reduce resident microbial count to a minimum, and to inhibit rapid rebound growth of microorganisms. Personnel within a sterile field should wear caps, masks, and sterile gowns and gloves to prevent microorganisms from being transferred to the catheter insertion site during the procedure. Infection can occur due to a high microbial count at the catheter insertion site. The density of skin flora at the catheter insertion site is a major risk factor for catheter-related blood stream infections. Lines that are no longer clearly needed should be removed promptly to eliminate the potential for catheterrelated bloodstream infections.
