Abstract
AIM: To review care practices and methods of implementation that reduce the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). METHODS: Medical and quality improvement-oriented literature was reviewed. RESULTS: Although effective catheter practices, equipment and staff training methods are available to reduce CLABSI, their implementation is often difficult. CONCLUSION: A successful CLABSI reduction programme requires not only identification of best practices but also understanding of the specific context or unit culture into which they will be introduced.
