Active to passive Vascular Access hub disinfection: Changing practice in a critical care setting?

This webinar aims to provide valuable insights into the impact of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSI) in critical care settings. Dan will share his experience as a Critical Care Practitioner, focusing on the surveillance and audit of vascular access practices and their outcomes to enhance patient safety. He will explore evidence-based practices and interventions designed to reduce CRBSI, including a project to introduce passive disinfection (CurosTM Disinfecting Caps) targeted at minimising the intraluminal route of infection. Additionally, Dan will discuss the challenges of implementing these changes, ensuring compliance with the new protocol and the importance of ongoing audit.

Key takeaways:

  • Understanding the significance of CRBSI in critical care and its implications for patient outcomes.
  • Insights into the practical experience and the value of undertaking vascular access surveillance and audits.
  • Overview of evidence-based strategies for reducing CRBSI through passive disinfection.
  • Discussion on the implementation process and maintaining compliance with new protocols.
