1 CRBSI: GUIDELINES ON REDUCING RISK AT ALL ACCESS POINTS HELEN HARKER SENIOR NURSE INTRAVENOUS ACCESS ROYAL LIVERPOOL AND BROADGREEN UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITALS

2 ROYAL LIVERPOOL AND BROADGREEN UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITALS Catchment population of more than two million people in Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales, the Isle of Man and beyond We provide a comprehensive range of specialist services to 750,000 people each year Awarded title, Centre of Excellence for Infection Control and Prevention

3 Reliable vascular access is a fundamental part of healthcare delivery today. (Maki et al, 2006)

4 Bacteraemia (blood stream infection) arising from the insertion and management of VADs is one of the most hazardous complications in healthcare today. (Pratt et al, 2014)

5 Microorganisms at the point where the device enters the body (exit site) or at the infusion entry point (hub/needle free device) are the most common causes of these infections. (Pratt et al, 2014)

6 CRBSI A blood stream infection with a catheter determined as the originating source. Diagnosis requires thorough laboratory investigation. (Naomi et al, 2011)

7 GUIDANCE EPIC 3:National Evidence-Based Guidelines for Preventing Healthcare-Associated Infections in NHS Hospitals in England CDC: Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Department of Health Royal College of Nursing British Committee for Standards in Haematology European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism Evidence within the Literature

8 PREVENTION Education, training and peer review Device selection Equipment, products, technology VAD associated complications Surveillance Collaborative MDT working

9 EDUCATION AND POLICY ADHERENCE Existence of policies and guidelines does not necessarily equate adherence (Higgins & Evans, 2008) Fundamental for healthcare workers involved in the insertion, care and management of VADs (Naomi et al, 2011 & Loveday et al, 2014) Incidences of VAD infection increases when inexperienced health professionals provide care (Eggiman et al, 2000) VAD infections decrease following implementation of education programmes (Coppersmith et al,2004; Sherertz et al, 2000; Xiao et al, 2007)

21 MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION Infection prevention and control team Microbiology services Executive group Radiology department Community IV therapy teams Procurement staff Clinical Skills Service Tissue viability experts

22 CONCLUSION Standardisation of the most appropriate training, practice, interventions and technology can potentially prevent CRBSI and reduce costs
