Clinical Trial Summary
The research is an algorithm study focused on nursing care in order to prevent Central
Catheter-Associated Bloodstream Infections in intensive care units. The algorithm prepared
with infection control measures related to central catheter care will be applied with
intensive care nurses and the effect of the algorithm on central catheter-related bloodstream
infections will be examined. In practice, a 20-day preliminary assessment, a three-month
intervention period, and a three-month post-intervention planning were made.
Description:
In the light of literature review and guidelines, intensive care nurses will care for central
catheters through an algorithm created with infection control measures.
Nurse-focused algorithm content to prevent central catheter-related bloodstream infections
Hand hygiene practice Use of personal protective equipment according to infection control
measures Evaluation of the catheter insertion site in terms of redness, swelling, tenderness,
discharge, bleeding Use of >0.5% chlorhexidine solution containing 70% alcohol for skin
antisepsis at the catheter insertion site (if there is no chlorhexidine, povidone iodine +
70% alcohol solution is used) Changing the transparent, semi-permeable dressings every 5-7
days and gauze dressings every 48 hours for catheter dressing Catheter dressing with aseptic
technique Use of sterile, preservative-free saline for flushing and locking in order to
ensure the lumen of the catheter.
Aseptic conditions should be observed if the junction of the catheter and the infusion set
(Hub) is to be touched.
Keeping the used triple taps closed Changing IV fluid sets and connection tools at
appropriate times Daily assessment of CVC requirement The research will be carried out in the
1st, 2nd and 3rd Level Intensive Care Units of Bilecik Training and Research Hospital in
Bilecik, Turkey. Infection rates will be compared in the study. In the study, the date of
June 2021 will be taken as a preliminary assessment and training time for nurses.
July-September 2021 will be the intervention period of the study, and October-December 2021
will be the post-intervention period.
