Researchers found that the rates of CLABSI decreased significantly when IV connectors were changed from negative or positive connectors to zero fluid displacement connectors, suggesting that ...

The Decatur Morgan Hospital announced Friday that it has reported a central line-associated bloodstream infection rate of zero.

The zero CLABSI rate means the hospital’s surgical ICU eliminated 14 CLABSIs and saved two to three lives from July-Dec. 2010, compared to the same time period in 2009. In partnership with the ...

A total of 339 hospitals in the U.S. have a central line associated bloodstream infection rate of zero, as based on the healthcare-associated infections dataset from CMS. The Healthcare-Associated ...

There are valid clinical reasons why standard prevention measures can sometimes fail, and maintaining a zero CLABSI rate can be difficult.

By faithfully adhering to a simple checklist of precautions, any hospital can reduce central-line-associated bloodstream infections to zero, according to Consumer Reports, which produced the study.

As of June 2013, infection rates for CLABSI were back down to zero, and stayed that way through November, Bender reported. "Sometimes infection control technology, although helpful, can mask ...

At some hospitals already excelling at infection control, the CLABSI rate fell to zero. AHRQ funded the use of CUSP nationally through the research arm of the American Hospital Association.

Its goal is zero CLABSI events, which it has not been able to accomplish over the time period, though the rate of CLABSIs has continued to fall over time after a spike in 2012.
