INTRODUCTION
A central line bloodstream
infection (CLABSI) occurs
when bacteria or other germs
enter the patient’s central line
and then enter into their
bloodstream. (Johns Hopkins,
2021)
Central Line
”central venous access device”
Signs and symptoms
• Fever
• Chills
• Soreness or redness around
the catheter site
CAuses
1. Contamination on insertion;
2. The patient’s skin flora;
3. The healthcare professional accessing the central
venous access device;
4. Central venous access devices (CVAD) hub
colonization;
5. Contaminated infusion or components of IV set;
6. Hematogenous spread from other sites (e.g. through
the bloodstream from another infection); and
7. Non-intact dressing.

Prevention
Doctors and nurses should always clean
their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-
based hand rub, wear sterile, protective gear
and clean a patient’s skin with an antiseptic
cleanser before putting in a catheter.
Healthcare workers should also clean their
hands and wear gloves before handling a
catheter opening or changing a bandage
covering the catheter area.
Hand hygiene Maximal barrier Chlorhexidine
precautions upon skin antisepsis
insertion
Optimal catheter site Daily review of
selection, with subclavian line necessity with
vein as prompt removal of

As a patient with a central line, these steps might help you to prevent CLABSIs:
o Ask your doctors and nurses to explain why you
need the catheter and how long you will have it.
o Make sure that all doctors and nurses caring for
you clean their hands with soap and water or an
alcohol-based hand rub before and after caring for
you.
o If your bandage comes off or becomes wet or dirty,
tell your nurse or doctor immediately.
As a patient with a central line, these steps might help you to prevent CLABSIs:
o Inform your nurse or doctor if the area around
your catheter is sore or red.
o Do not let family and friends who visit touch the
catheter or the tubing.
o Make sure family and friends clean their hands
with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub
before and after visiting you.
Questions
HOW DOES CENTRAL
LINE BLOODSTREAM
INFECTION OCCUR?
o - BACTERIA OR GERMS THAT CAN ENTER TO
THE PATIENT’S CENTRAL LINE AND INTO
THE BLOODSTREAM
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS
AND SYMPTOMS OF
CLABSI?
o - FEVER, CHILLS, SORENESS OR REDNESS OF
CATHETER SITE
GIVE ATLEAST 3
CAUSES OF CLABSI
o - Contamination on insertion
o -The patient’s skin flora
o - The healthcare professional accessing the central venous
access device
o - Central venous access devices (CVAD) hub colonization
o - Contaminated infusion or components of IV set
o - Hematogenous spread from other sites (e.g. through the
bloodstream from another infection)
o - Non-intact dressing.
GIVE ATLEAST 4 RISK
FACTORS OF CLABSI
o - INCREASED AGE
o - POOR NUTRITION
o - IMMUNOSUPPRESSED
o - IMPAIRED SKIN INTEGRITY
o - ANOTHER EXISITING INFECTION
o - MULTIPLE INVASIVE PROCEDURE
o - ANTIBIIOTIC THERAPY
o - DIABETES AND VASCULAR DISEASE
o - PARENTERAL NUTRITION
o - POSITION OF CENTRAL LINE
o - POOR HYGIENE
o - LENGTH OF HOSPITALIZATION BEFORE
VENOUS CATHETERIZATION
HOW DO YOU PREVENT
CLABSI?
o - PROPER HAND HYGIENE
o - WEAR STERILE PPES
o - KEEP PATIENT’S SKIN CLEAN WITH
ANTISEPTIC CLEANSER BEFORE INSERTION
OF CATHETER
o - HEALTH CARE WORKERS SHOULD CLEAN
HAND AND WEAR GLOVES BEFORE
HANDLING A CATHETER OPENING OR
CHANGIN BANDAGE COVERING OF THE
CATHETER AREA
