“…Historical pre-bundle central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSIs) rates are suggested to be in the region of three to five infections per thousand catheter days (Memish et al, 2003). In contrast, a review of post bundle introduction has produced CLABSI rates close to zero (Boland-Reardon et al, 2011).…”

Reliable securement of peripheral venous cannulae (PVC) is an important factor in their maintenance. This audit in a district general hospital compares the occurrence of PVC restarts between a 3-month period in 2010 and the same 3 months in 2011. The only difference in the PVC care bundle between these dates was the implementation of an advanced securement dressing for cannulae in 2011. Results show a significant increase in cannulae attaining the maximum local protocol duration of 72 hours during 2011. Also, restarts owing to dressinginfluenced factors (dislodgement, infiltration and leakage) were significantly lower in 2011 when the new dressing was used. The total number of PVC restarts during the comparative audit periods was 9% lower in 2011 compared with 2010. This data suggests that better PVC securement is leading to an overall reduction in PVC insertions but further evidence is required to support this conclusion.

The dominance of central-line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention has become a powerful far-reaching endeavour in recent years. Surveillance is well established as an infection 'occurrence' reporting mechanism. Unfortunately, surveillance is rarely described in the literature as a component of CLABSI prevention. This changed in 2009 following the introduction of a preventative CLABSI surveillance initiative. Upon completion of the 2011 period of surveillance, the authors were able to demonstrate the insertion of 1012 catheters, which equalled 7522 line days and a 12-month period of zero CLABSI.
