Scrubbing the hub of an intravenous catheter is important to prevent catheter-related infections. It involves rubbing the hub hard with an alcohol swab for 15 seconds using a twisting motion before and after accessing the catheter. A study at Johns Hopkins found scrubbing for 15 seconds was more effective at decontamination than 5 seconds. The procedure for scrubbing the hub involves hand washing, wearing gloves, using a 70% alcohol swab, scrubbing for 15 seconds with a twisting motion on the stopper top and before any medication or blood is withdrawn, scrubbing again after, and changing the stopper before discarding gloves. Scrubbing the hub helps get rid of contamination and maintain sterility and catheter patency to avoid infections.

3. central line associated blood stream infection
There are two terms used to describe central line infections: central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). CLABSI is defined as a bloodstream infection where the patient had a central line within 48 hours before onset. CRBSI requires lab testing to confirm the catheter as the infection source. Central lines are essential for patient care but can lead to costly and life-threatening infections if not properly inserted and maintained. Adhering to evidence-based practices like maximum barrier precautions and chlorhexidine skin antisepsis can significantly reduce central line infection rates.
CATHETER RELATED BLOOD STREAM INFECTION
This document discusses catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). It covers the different types of intravenous devices used, risk factors for CRBSIs like site of insertion and duration of catheterization, common pathogens like coagulase-negative staphylococci, and methods for diagnosis. Treatment involves antibiotic therapy based on pathogen and sometimes removing the catheter. Prevention focuses on only catheterizing when necessary, following sterile technique for insertion and maintenance, and removing lines promptly. Monitoring and a central line bundle can help reduce CRBSIs.
Ventilator-Associated Event (VAE2)
This document discusses the development and implementation of new surveillance definitions for ventilator-associated events (VAEs) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It provides an overview of the limitations of previous ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) surveillance definitions and the objectives of the CDC to create a more reliable, objective approach. The new VAE definitions focus on ventilator settings and complications rather than clinical diagnosis of VAP. The definitions establish thresholds for worsening oxygenation that could indicate a ventilator-associated condition has occurred.
Complications of Central Venous Catheters: current perspectives
This document discusses complications of central venous catheters including infection, occlusion, and thrombosis. It provides details on definitions, risk factors, treatments, and outcomes for each complication. Central line-associated bloodstream infection is the most common complication, occurring in 1.3-1.5 per 1000 catheter days. Occlusion can often be treated by restoring patency with thrombolytics or other methods in over 70% of cases without needing catheter replacement. Venous thrombosis is another significant complication that requires proactive treatment to preserve central vein access long term.

Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common type of healthcare-associated infection reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). Among UTIs acquired in the hospital, approximately 75% are associated with a urinary catheter, which is a tube inserted into the bladder through the urethra to drain urine. Between 15-25% of hospitalized patients receive urinary catheters during their hospital stay. The most important risk factor for developing a catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) is prolonged use of the urinary catheter. Therefore, catheters should only be used for appropriate indications and should be removed as soon as they are no longer needed.
Needle stick injury Prevention and Management by Dr. Rakesh Prasad Sah
1) Needle stick injuries can result in exposure to bloodborne viruses like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. The risk of infection depends on factors like the type of needle and whether the needle was visibly contaminated with blood.
2) Immediate first aid for exposures includes washing wounds with soap and water and flushing splashes to the eyes or mouth with water. Exposed individuals should also take the first dose of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV as soon as possible.
3) Management of exposures involves testing the source for bloodborne viruses, evaluating the exposure risk, deciding on PEP treatment, obtaining consent, counselling, and follow-up testing of exposed individuals to monitor for potential
