Here is an EXAMPLE of how the summary should sound like
By using multidisciplinary teams to encourage the use of a maintenance central line
bundle, Gupta et al. 1 show a significant reduction of central line-associated bloodstream
infections (CLABSIs) in an adult coronary ICU. After reviewing data over 19 months that
showed a CLABSI rate of 3.1 out of 1000 device days, Hamad Medical Heart Hospital members
recognized an acute need for central line maintenance education and created the Stop CLABSI
Project. This project focused on educating the healthcare workers involved with the insertion and
maintenance of a central line on using evidence-based bundles to promote sterility and reduce the
number of CLABSIs on the unit. The central line maintenance bundle focused on hand hygiene,
standardized tubing change, use of aseptic technique when accessing and changing needleless
connectors, and daily review of catheter necessity. To promote proper hand hygiene, an infection
prevention practitioner provided the front-line staff with formal education on the five moments
of hand hygiene, and compliance was recorded by a secret observer. The team developed a
standardized tubing change time frame according to the organization’s policy and encouraged
nurses to change the medication tubing within the designated time frame. The team promoted use
of an aseptic technique during and after insertion by requiring the use of chlorohexidine
dressings, daily chlorohexidine bath wipes, and alcohol impregnated cap port protectors. During
daily multidisciplinary rounds, a member of the team reminded the group of how long a central
line was in place by stating the line day. After 19 months of implementing the Stop CLABSI
Project, the CLABSI rate dropped to just 0.4 out of 1000 device days. In addition to a significant
decrease in the number of CLABSIs, the use of bundle compliance increased from 64% to 100%.
This study shows that patient outcomes can be greatly improved by using central line specific
education, multidisciplinary reinforcement, and teamwork.
