BSI & VAP in the PICU
Jana Stockwell, MD, FAAP
Why is this important?
BSI is the most common PICU
nosocomial infection
VAP is the second most common PICU
nosocomial infection
Any nosocomial infection prolongs ICU
days, hospital days, and increases cost
Morbidity and mortality effects
Definitions - BSI
BSI – blood stream infection
Central venous line present
Percutaneous
PICC
Broviac, Port
+ blood cx >48 hours after line placement
Signs & sxs of infection
Definitions - VAP
VAP – ventilator associated pneumonia
>48 hours on vent
Combination of:
CXR changes
Sputum changes
Fever, ↑ WBC
+ sputum cx
Distinguish from colonization of ETT and
tracheitis
Nosocomial vs. community
acquired infections
Community acquired – no healthcare
system exposure in past month
Healthcare associated infection – may be
patient with dialysis, clinic visits, nursing
facility
Hospital acquired (nosocomial) – infection
acquired AFTER admission to a hospital
Why these projects?
IHI – 100,000 Lives Campaign
NICHQ – Getting to zero: The Kids
Campaign
Concept of a Care Bundle
Care Bundle:
Groupings of best practices with respect to
a disease process that individually improve
care, but when applied together may result
in substantially greater improvement
BSI Reduction “Bundle” of Care
Hand hygiene
Alcohol foam, except when visibly soiled
Enter and exit room
Glove change when dealing with G-tube then IV (or
similar type situation)
CHG (chlorhexidine) – replaces alcohol
10 swipes, 10 sec to dry
Except open wounds
CNS procedures - LP, CSF cx or EVD care
Allergy
Daily assessment of need for line
CVL insertion
Hand washing
Proper drapes
Site prep with CHG
Sterile procedure
Biopatch
Occlusive dressing + Biopatch
Change Q Wed PM/Thurs AM or when visibly soiled
Re-wiring line INCREASES infection risk
Our BSIs
Bugs:
Candida
Enterococcus
Staph
Enterobacter
E coli
All types of CVLs
Not associated with use of Hyperglycemia
Protocol
BSI Reduction Project
Goal – to achieve and maintain a ZERO
BSI rate
National rate = 6.6 BSI/1000 CVL days
CHOA data:
2004 = 6.2 BSI/ 1000 CVL days
2005 = 3.1 BSI/ 1000 CVL days
2006 = 2.6 BSI/ 1000 CVL days
YTD 2007 (Eg only) = 3.6 BSI/ 1000 CVL
days
VAP Project Aim
To decrease the
VAP rate systemwide by 50%
Measure
VAP/1000 vent
days
Benchmarks
National Healthcare Safety Network
(NHSN) mean rate for pediatric patients
in 2006 was 2.5 per 1000 ventilatordays
National Nosocomial Infections
Surveillance System (NNIS) mean rate
for pediatric patients in 2004 was 2.9 per
1000 ventilator-days

to pediatrics?

IHI Adult Bundle
• Elevation of the head of the bed
to between 30 and 45 degrees
• Daily sedation vacations
• Daily assessment of readiness
to extubate
• Peptic ulcer disease (PUD)
prophylaxis
• Deep venous thrombosis (DVT)
prophylaxis
CHOA VAP Bundle
• Elevation of the head of the bed 30-45o
• Use 15-30o for neonates and small infants,
otherwise
30-45o
• Daily sedation vacations
• Daily assessment of readiness to
extubate
• Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) prophylaxis
• Oral care protocol
• DVT prophylaxis option
Additional Care Aspects
Adopted
Keep the vent circuit free from condensate
by draining water away from patient every
2-4 hours and prior to repositioning
Change in-line suction catheter systems
only when soiled or otherwise indicated
Store oral suction devices in a clean nonsealed plastic bag when not in use
Head of Bed Elevation
30-45o standard
15-30o infants
Infant beds/cribs unable to achieve > 30o
Difficulty maintaining baby’s position
Reverse Trendelenberg for patients with:
Spine precautions
Prone positioning
Daily Sedation Vacations
Included in sedation protocol
8 a.m. each morning sedation is held unless
order written that contraindication exists
Contraindications:
Critical airway
Unstable respiratory or CV status
Restart sedatives and analgesics at ½
previous dose
Nurse driven protocol
Education of bedside care team
Sedation Vacation
Sedation Vacation
added to Sedation
Protocol
Standardized time for
sedation vacation: 0800
Ulcer Prophylaxis
Use of H2 blockers, PPI, or gastric coating
agent
Exceptions:
Enteral feeds
Allergy to medication
Oral Care
Oral cavity assessed upon admission and
Q 12 h
Only performed on unconscious or
intubated patients with teeth
Suctioning every 4 hours
Brush teeth twice a day
Use toothette to clean the oral mucosa
and tongue every 4 hours
Oral Care
Oral care cleansing
and suctioning
system
System includes:
Covered Yankauer
Suction Toothbrush
Sodium Bicarbonate,
Antiseptic Oral Rinse
Applicator Swab
1 Suction Catheter
DVT Prophylaxis Option
Shown to decrease ventilator days in adult
population
No data in peds
Lovenox, SCD (sequential compression
devices)
The Pediatric Case for Preventing
VAP
VAP is the second most common
nosocomial infection in PICU patients
The highest rates of VAP occur in the 2-12
month old population
Four-fold ↑ in PICU length of stay with VAP
Three-fold ↑ in hospital length of stay with
VAP
Determining a VAP
Follow NHSN Pneumonia
Guidelines
Positive deep culture
New chest x-ray infiltrate
Worsening gas exchange
Combination of three:
Temperature
White count
Change in sputum
Change in pulse
Wheezing and/or cough
Change in heart rate
