1) The document discusses strategies to prevent infections associated with healthcare interventions like urinary catheters and ventilators. It highlights that hand hygiene and limiting the duration of invasive devices are important prevention strategies. 2) The use of multimodal intervention bundles that include strategies like optimal insertion and maintenance of catheters/ventilators, skin antisepsis and daily review of device necessity can significantly reduce healthcare associated infections. 3) Recent studies demonstrate the efficacy of chlorhexidine impregnated dressings in further reducing infections associated with intravascular catheters beyond the impact of basic multimodal care bundles. Consistent application of evidence-based practices can further reduce infections.
