Poor adherence to guidelines for preventing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI): results of a worldwide survey.
preventable. We documented attitudes and practices in intensive care units (ICU s) in 2015 in order to assess compliance with CLABSI prevention guidelines. METHODS: Between June and October 2015, an online ...
Validation of a Sampling Method to Collect Exposure Data for Central-Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections.
Tuesdays provided the best estimations. In the linear mixed model, the observed CLD count was the best predictor for a smaller percentage error. The following sampling strategies provided an estimate within ...
