Background
• The Credit Valley Hospital
is a 383 bed community
hospital in Mississauga,
Ontario with a 16 bed
ICU/CCU.
• ICU/CCU patients include
a mix of general medicine,
cardiology and surgical
patients.
• The Central Line team
includes the members of
the ICU/CCU
multidisciplinary team in
addition to members from
Quality and Risk
Management, Health
Records, Microbiology and
Senior Management.
How we are doing?
The Numbers
• Tracking Lines: calendar in CN binder, CN on
nights enters # of lines, # of new lines
Important to define:
Time frame: midnight to midnight, 0700 – 0700,
Take into account workload of CN, what time is
best for them
Engage them with defining the time parameters,
how to promote communication
Can this be entered on line?
Insertion Bundle
• Caps
• Sterile drapes
• Chlorhexidine products:
Asking what is available, what to keep, who is affected if you
remove a product, what to remove from ward stock
Out of sight = Out of mind
Engage users into deciding what product they prefer
We knew:
Chlorhexidine 2% with 70% Alcohol for
Insertion
User Input is Key!
Users were looking for:
•Individual patient use
•Tinted (to know where you had
cleaned)
•To have only this product available
so they could get it quickly!
•This needs sterile gauze to be
available to clean skin
This is the preference of one of our
users
•Eliminates the need for gauze
•Not tinted
• Can be used by RRT’s to cleanse
skin prior to arterial stabs
•Unique packaging makes teaching
fun
Cart
•Safer
•Portable
•One Stop Shopping
“Buy in” is important
Changed a system in place
“since the beginning of time”
Provide opportunity for
feedback/discussion
Labeling: increase
awareness of materials in

• Focus placed on
Insertion bundle
initially
• Create audit tool and
go!!
Daily Evaluation Form
** Please fill in/initial every WHITE box, every

Patient Information Sheet
CVH is committed to improving patient care by participating in a nationwide initiative called Safer
Healthcare Now. One project being led by the Critical Care staff is aimed at reducing Central Line
Bloodstream Infections.
What is a Central Line Bloodstream Infection?
It is an infection of the bloodstream that occurs in patients who have
a central line or central venous catheter. Central lines are necessary
for patients who need frequent intravenous (IV) medications, blood,
fluid replacement, dialysis and/or nutrition.
What causes Central Line Bloodstream Infections?
Sometimes bacteria on the skin start growing in the central line and
can then spread to the patient’s bloodstream. This is a very serious
infection which requires treatment with antibiotics and removal of the line.
What are we doing to prevent Central Line Bloodstream Infections?
We will take the following steps whenever possible for all patients who have central lines:
Use proper hand hygiene. Everyone who touches the central line must wash their hands with soap and water or an alcohol
cleanser.
Use maximal barrier precautions. The person who inserts the line should be in sterile clothing – wearing a mask, gloves, and
cap. The patient should be fully covered with a sterile drape, except for a very small hole where the line goes in.
Clean the patient’s skin with “chlorhexidine” (a type of soap) when the line is put in.
Use the best vein to insert the line. Often, this is the subclavian (chest) or jugular vein (neck) which is not as likely to get an
infection as veins in the arm or leg.
Check the line for infection each day. The line will be taken out when no longer needed.
How patients and family members can help:
• Wash your hands or use the hand sanitizer before entering and after leaving the patient’s room.
Keys to success
• Keeping it fun
• Sometimes, it doesn’t work, use feedback to
improve
• Actively involved RN champion (teaching,
generating ideas, seeking feedback)
• Frequent meetings (weekly to biweekly to
monthly, special meetings to help with
implementation)
• Communication
• Involve all members of team
• Support of all levels of administration
Future Steps
• Expanding maintenance to all inpatient units
(work with who will work with you)
• Continue to promote use of cart/kits for
insertions in those units
• Explore possibility of evaluating the patient
information sheet
• Celebrate the success thus far!!
