A comprehensive vascular access service can reduce catheter-associated bloodstream infections and promote the appropriate use of vascular access devices.

Abstract：

:This study describes the role of a novel vascular access service in the reduction and prevention of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). We conducted a retrospective analysis of data obtained over a span of 24 months after implementation of our vascular access service. We identified a progressive decline in the CLABSI rate and standardized infection ratio (SIR) in 2017 (rate, 1.75; SIR, 1.25) and in 2018 (rate, 1.037; SIR, 0.91). The reduction in CLABSIs was attributed to appropriate triage, insertion, and maintenance of vascular access devices.
