Question

A central line associated-bloodstream infection, CLABSI, can be caused by many points of care. This is why there are certain policies or bundles that a medical facility puts into place to help prevent these from occurring. The article that I have chosen looks at the results of the implementation of one of these bundles in a facility. This article's bundle includes placement and management of a central line pre and post cardiac surgical operations of pediatric patients. The results found a significant decrease in the negative possible effects of CLABSI, such as blood stream infection levels going from 8.4% to 3.1% in the facility (Vachirapuranon et al., 2022). CLABSI is a known issue by studies such as this one where there is shown to be a decrease of the rates from simple implementations. The information on the issue must be given to the public and especially the medical professionals. This is because the public will be concerned enough to call for a change to be made. The change will be made over this information from medical professionals in the form of CLABSI bundles such as previously mentioned. This is the change in the form of hospital.
