A central line bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection not connected to an infection at another site that occurs within 48 hours of a central line placement. It is associated with poor health outcomes, high morbidity and mortality rates, and high healthcare costs for patients and the healthcare system. Most CLABSI cases are preventable with appropriate aseptic techniques, surveillance, and management strategies. The purpose of this assignment is to analyze peer-reviewed articles related to CLABSI.
