Résumé |
This case study is part of a series centered on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) health care–associated infection surveillance definitions. These cases reflect some of the complex patient scenarios infection preventionists have encountered in their daily surveillance of health care–associated infections using NHSN definitions and protocols. Teaching points for this case study are:
• | • Device day counts for denominator data |
• | • Eligible central line (CL) day counts for device attribution |
• | • Associating bloodstream infections with CLs |
• | • Documentation required for use of the NHSN CL- associated bloodstream infection exclusion for observed or suspected patient injection. |
Key Words : Intravenous injection, Central line–associated bloodstream infection, NHSN
| Conflicts of interest: None to report. |
