Prevention of central venous catheter-related infection in ICU with cluster nursing intervention: a meta-analysis
Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 15
Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the clinical effects of cluster nursing intervention in preventing central venous catheter-related infection in intensive care unit. Methods: A randomized controlled study was searched from China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), Wanfang, Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed), PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library databases from the establishment to May 1, 2020. Two reviewers independently evaluated and cross checked the quality of the study. Revman 5.3 was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Results: A total of 21 randomized controlled trials with 6,030 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of central venous catheter-related infection (relative risk (RR) = 0.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.23, 0.37]), the incidence of catheter plugging (RR = 0.25, 95% CI [0.16, 0.39]) and catheter prolapse (RR = 0.18, 95% CI [0.11, 0.29]) were significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: Cluster nursing intervention could prevent central venous catheter-related infection in intensive care unit.
