Ocuros Disinfecting Port Protectors Presents Catheter CREATURES More than 360 million I.V. catheters are used in the US each year and all catheters carry some risk of bloodstream infection The use of central line catheters has increased considerably in Intensive Care Units. Approximately 48% of all ICU patients have catheters at some point during their hospital stay in the United States. However, central lines, like any venous catheter, disrup integrity the skin, which can cause deadly bloodstream Infections. With current surveillance 90% of catheter-related BSIS occur with central lines. That's why proper catheter insertion and maintenance is so important. Check out the graphic below that illustrates both the organisms that invade needleless catheters and the measures that can prevent them. When Are Central Lines Used? Rapid delivery of pharmacotherapeutic drugs or compounds Volume resuscitation Hemodynamic instability/need for monitoring Lack of sustainable peripheral access Risk of intraoperative air embolism Long-term parenteral nutrition Dialysis therapy How Can Central Lines Become Infected? Infected central line Plasma proteins, like fibrin, coat the surface of the central line immediately after insertion. Bacteria migrates along the catheter track and becomes embedded in the protein sheath What Constitutes A Central Line Related Bloodstream Infection? Laboratory-confirmed central line-related BSI must meet at least one of the following criteria: Sources: cdc.gov | safetyleaders.org Meet The Catheter CREATURES Coagulase-negative staphylococci Causes 37% of infections Gram-negative rods Causes 14% of infections Enterococcus Causes 13% of infections Staphylococcus aureus Causes 13% of infections Candida Species Causes 8% of infections Enterobacter Species Causes 5% of infections Pseudomonas aeruginosa Causes 4% of infections Klebsiella pneumoniae Causes 3% of infections Escherichia coli Causes 2% of infections Source: safetyleaders.org The Two Most Common Sources of CLABSI Insertion related CLABSI's occur within 7 days of placement. AND INSERTION The access port is the most common site of CLABSIS that occur 7 days or more after catheter insertion HUB DISINFECTION What Can You Do To Reduce The Chances of Infection? Source: cdc.gov Na A There are several procedures and precautions that can be followed R that will help reduce the chance of infection. For example: SCRUB THE INJECTION PORT/VALVE SURFACE WITH 70% ALCOHOL foR ATLEAST 10 To Is SECONDS. MINIMIZE CONTAMINATION RISK BY SCRUBBING THE ACCESS PORT WITH AN APPROPRIATE ANTISEPTIC (CHLORHEXIDINE, POVIDONE IODINE, AN IODOPHOR, oR 70% ALCOHOL) AND ACCESSING THE PORT ONLY WITH STERILE DEVICES. USE A STANDARDIZED PROTOCOL TO DISINFECT ALL CATHETER HUBS AND INJECTION PORTS BEFORE ACCESSING THE PORTS. MD DID YOU KNOW? MD Signarene Needleless connector disinfection is infrequent and typically consists of a cursory wipe of the port or valve with 70% isopropyl alcohol Alcohol The Swabbing Method of application (using a packaged pad soaked with antiseptic) if clinicians apply friction and scrub for 15 seconds. 70% Isopr For Disinfection Use IV hub/port manufacturers only recommend the use of 70% IPA for hub disinfection. Disinfecting Port Protectors are effective at killing microbes when they are twisted onto the needle connector and left in place for 3 minutes.
