| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To evaluate the effectiveness of our interventions as additional measures for the prevention of CRBSI, we compared the rates of CRBSI before and after the additional interventions. Moreover, we investigated the prominent CRBSI factors in our hospital ICU.
The prominent CRBSI factors were associated with the severity of the initial condition, which might, in turn, be related to the observed longer ICU stay, longer duration of catheter insertion, higher mechanical ventilation rates, and multicatheter requirement. Although we strictly implemented the bundle of preventive measures, the CRBSI rate increased before we started the additional interventions. After several interventions, the CRBSI rates slightly decreased, which might possibly recover the benefits of the additional preventive measures. Further strategies with the medical staff including a surveillance team should be continued with the aim of preventing CRBSI in most severe critical care patients.
