Journal Title: National Journal of Community Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is often a complication of the presence of indwelling medical devices. These Central line catheters provide long-term venous access for treatment, delivery of medications and blood testing. Use of Central venous Catheters lead to blood-stream infection often referred as Central line-Associated blood-stream infection. Methods and Materials: Cross sec-tional retrospective data was col-lected among all the inpatients for the year 2015 covering 30, 954 inpa-tients. Data was collected as per ICD – 10 coding, analyzed using SPSS softwareOR17, interpreted and rep-resented in the graph. Results: Prevalence rate of CLABSI was 7/1000 population, High prev-alence was seen among males 144 (65.7%),Mean age ± 40.6, Average length of stay increased to 11.7 days, patients admitted to ICU complex suffered more compared to ward category, Medical related dis-eases contributed to 132 (60.2%) and Respiratory organ system related diseases contributed to 96(25.5%) Conclusions: Patients with Central line -associated bloodstream infec-tion had significantly longer hospi-tal lengths of stay; Bloodstream in-fections are associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. In this context understanding the pro-file, demographic variables and as-sociated morbidity becomes an im-portant for prevalence of the diseases.
