Simulation-Based Central Venous Line Maintenance Bundle Education

Summary

Catheter associated blood stream infections (CA-BSI) remain a source of significant morbidity and mortality in adult and pediatric critical care units. While it has been established that CVL maintenance bundles are pivotal to achieving and maintaining low CA-BSI rates, training and retention of proper bundle compliance remains a challenge.

The investigators prospectively compared this simulation-based program to a standard educational approach.

The investigators hypothesized that implementation of bedside simulation-based training of CVL dressing changes by registered nurses would improve CVL maintenance bundle compliance.
