Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) - Whole House Surveillance
Publish | January 01, 0001
Must we perform surveillance on all central lines, or is targeted surveillance okay?
Infection surveillance must be performed on all central lines; these lines carry significant risk of morbidity and mortality regardless of circumstances. Limiting surveillance to certain types of lines, patient care units or service lines is not allowable under NPSG.07.04.01.
