Central Line-associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI)

This study evaluates a daily electronic health record (EHR) alert designed to reduce unnecessary central venous catheter (CVC) use among hospitalized adults. The alert identifies patients with an active CVC and no documented indication, prompting the first-contact provider to document line necessity. The study compares alert and a secure chat intervention to usual care, with the goal of reducing unnecessary line days and related CLABSI risk.

* Review key history and clinical examination findings of cases with CLABSI. * Microbiological diagnosis and Culture sensitivity tests by automated Bact Alert and Vitek2c systems for CLABSI. * Determine antibiotic biogram of each organism isolated * Determine the prevalence of occurrence of Primary or secondary Blood stream infection, causing microorganism, and predisposing factors.
