5 Opportunities for Blood Stream Infections R/T Central Lines A Central Line is the highway onramp to the circulatory system When caring for a central line you are entering a vulnerable sterile space! 5 5

6 Organisms can be introduced into the bloodstream: During insertion At insertion site When a central line is opened or broken into When a central line is accessed for blood draws or medication administration During discontinuation 6 6

7 Goal: to improve the care and maintenance of central lines in order to decrease central line infections Focus of Education: Focus of today s education will be on the components of the policy that are geared toward prevention of central line infections 7 7

8 What we need from you Commitment to learning the revised process Commitment to reducing central line infections Belief that we can eliminate central line infections Identifying nursing care as a major factor for reducing central line infections 8 8

9 What will be covered today: Background of CLABSI (Central line blood stream infection) Insertion of Central line Your role (the RN) during the insertion process Patient education Monitoring for Aseptic Insertion Technique How to care for the central line/policy change Dressing changes Tubing, Clave, and stopcock changes Accessing the line Discontinuing the line 9 9

10 What will be covered today: Central Line Tip culture Nursing Daily Indication Assessment Documentation Summary of Nursing Documentation 10 10

12 Definitions HAI: Healthcare-associated infection CVAD: Central Venous Access Device CLABSI: Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infection CHG: Chlorhexadine Gluconate CDPH: California Department of Public Health CLIP: Central Line Insertion Practices CDC: Centers for Disease Control & Prevention 12 12

13 Cleanliness Issues Famous Reporter's Routine Procedure Turned into Horrible Death, Family Says ABCNEWS.com N E W Y O R K, Oct. 23 Well known to America as a television sports reporter and author, Dick Schaap's 50-year career brought him to the heights of prestige and privilege until his unexpected death. The media has raised awareness about HAIs 13

14 HAI s affect real people The public is becoming more & more aware of infections acquired during health care The public is realizing these infections can be prevented & expect prevention to occur 14 14

15 Background There is a focus on certain HAIs, such as CLABSI--- Why? 1. High mortality (12-25% increased risk of death) 2. High morbidity (increased risk of dangerous complications, extended LOS) 3. High cost ($25,000-$56,000 per episode) 4. Most are preventable We are all affected---when we are patients & when we pay for our health insurance It s the right thing to do for others & ourselves 15 15

16 Result of Focus: October 1,2008 Medicare no longer will pay for hospital infections caused by inter-vascular catheters. Background 16 16

17 Background Result of Focus: 1/1/09 New CA. law requires hospital CLABSI to be reported to CDPH Law also requires reporting of CLIP compliance 1/1/11 Data will be provided to the public by name of the facility 17 17

18 Background Multiple organizations have identified specific practices to reduce the risk of CLABSI These practices have become the standard of care for CVAD s nationally Focus is on sterile insertion, maintenance, access, & prompt removal 18 18

19 Background Example: 2003 The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)--- Bundled practices that showed evidence of preventing CVAD infection: 1. Hands cleaned prior to procedure 2. Use of maximal barriers 3. Use of CHG to prep site 4. Use of preferred site (sub-clavian) 5. Line is assessed daily & removed ASAP Now referred to as CLIP 19 19

21 Definition of a Central Venous Access Device (Central Line) SE5p, CLABSI Education.pdf CDC Definition: An intravascular catheter that terminates at or close to the heart or in one of the great vessels which is used for infusion, withdrawal of blood, or hemodynamic monitoring. Examples: Non-tunneled-Multi-lumen catheter, Swan, Cordis Tunneled-Hickman, Broviac, Port Dialysis non-tunneled-quinton Dialysis tunneled PICC Thermoguard 21 21

22 Definition of CLABSI CDC criteria requires a positive blood culture Contaminated blood cultures can be misleading may result in inappropriate antibiotics for patient Could get inappropriately counted as a CLABSI Blood cultures are more likely to be contaminated if drawn through a line Do not draw blood for a blood culture through a line unless specifically ordered At least 1 culture should be drawn from a peripheral site 22 22

24 The RN Role during Insertion of Central Lines Patient/family education Central Line Associated BloodStream Infection (CLABSI) Prevention handout Monitoring for aseptic insertion technique Central Line Insertion Practice (CLIP) checklist SE5p, CLABSI Education.pdf 24 24

25 Patient/Family Education JCAHO National Patient Safety Goal January 1, 2010 Prior to insertion of a central venous catheter, the hospital educates patients and, as needed, their families about central line associated bloodstream infection prevention. Prior to insertion is preferred, but may not always be possible or appropriate. For example, if a patient is having a line placed emergently, or placed unexpectedly during surgery

41 Inserter missing CAP STOP THE LINE: Dr. X, I noticed you are missing a cap, here s one so we can be compliant with maximal barrier precautions, THANKS! 41 41

42 What s wrong with this CLIP photo? 42 42

43 Inserter missing MASK Dr. X, your pager is beeping like crazy! just kidding, you forgot to put on your MASK for maximal barrier precautions. Dr. X, you have a very handsome face, but this procedure requires you to put on a mask for maximal barrier precautions 43 43

44 What s wrong with this CLIP photo? 44 44

45 Inserter not using head to toe drape SE5p, CLABSI Education.pdf Dr. X, we re supposed to be using a HEAD to TOE DRAPE for central line insertions, let s get you one before we start

57 Basic Principles: CVAD Access Hands must be cleaned before handling IV tubing or accessing the central line through any port Scrub the Hub of any port or clave with alcohol for a count of 10 for any nontunneled central line 57 57

58 Scrub the Hub Injection port to be disinfected/scrubbed with alcohol vigorously for a count of 10 Alcohol must be allowed to dry prior entry of any port on a central line When to Scrub the Hub: Entry into any IV port Entry into any port of stopcock When connecting IV tubing during tubing changes Prior to medication administration Prior to blood draws 58 58

59 Basic Principles: Blood Draws Clean hands before handling IV tubing or accessing the central line thru any port Clean clave with alcohol using Scrub the Hub procedure Draw blood through clave Change clave after blood draw Clean clave with alcohol prior to reconnecting to tubing 59 59

60 Basic Principles: Blood Draws Always use blue end stop cap on end of IV tubing to maintain sterility of tubing NEVER loop back and connect end port to IV tubing Blue end caps are one time use only Flush catheter/port with 10 mls (adults) / Peds 3 mls normal saline using push pause technique Flush catheter/port per SNP or reconnect to running IV fluid 60 60

93 Your Turn Time to Demonstrate 93 93

94 Daily Indication Assessment 94 94

95 Daily Indication Assessment Each central line must be assessed daily to determine if it is still needed Daily assessment must be performed both by the nurse & the physician The nurse will document in TDS the indication for the line when acuities are entered If line no longer indicated, notify MD 95 95

96 Daily Indication Assessment Each shift, determine if each central line your patient has meets one of these indications for use: 1. Monitoring (e.g. CVP) 2. Therapies (e.g. medications requiring longterm administration (> 14 days), TPN, dialysis/pheresis 3. Rapid infusion of large volumes of blood/fluid 4. Unable to obtain alternate IV access 96 96

97 Daily Indication Assessment If the line does not meet a continued indication for use, contact the physican to discuss a plan for removal CA. law requires daily documentation by the physician for daily line indication A stamp will be placed on the Nursing Flowsheet for this documentation OR it will be documented in the MD progress notes MD must document need for line each day until discontinued 97 97
