Introduction
Statistics revealed that approximately 250,000 to 500,000 central-line-associated blood-
stream infections (CLABSI) every year are reported in the United States alone. This incidence
result in a mortality rate of 10% to 30%. Intensive Care Units (ICUs) is a typical source of
healthcare-associated infections (HAIs); thus, health workers should devise and employ programs
to lower the risk of HAIs to which patients are highly exposed (Perin et al., 2016).
Significance
Central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are health care-associated infec-
tions that are considered to be preventable and are linked to high morbidity, mortality, and hospital
readmissions (Lee et al., 2020). The burden of this disease prompted health institutions and organ-
izations to come up with different strategies and interventions that can help in the reduction of
CLABSI rates.
CLABSI is a crucial topic in the field of healthcare because evidenced-based interventions
can lead to considerable improvements in the health care outcomes of patients specifically in terms
of duration of hospital stay and health care cost. These will ultimately result in the reduction and
elimination of morbidities and mortalities associated with CLABSI. Currently, the strategies are
mainly focused on sterile insertion and dressing maintenance. In contrast, fewer strategies focused
on other factors related to CLABSI, such as monitoring, assessment of insertion lines, mandatory
daily review of lines, and prompt removal.
Despite the effectiveness of the currently available interventions for CLABSI rate reduc-
tion, strategies focused on basic practice improvement should also be maximized and explored.
These are important and recommended regardless of the special devices used in the procedure. The
