Reduction of catheter-related bloodstream infections through the use of a central venous line bundle: Epidemiologic and economic consequences

Multimodal interventions can have an effect on time saving, error reduction and cost reduction

The study by Kim et al. confirms that the prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infections can improve patient care and can reduce healthcare costs ($ 31,254 per CLABSI prevented). Interventions that improve hygiene and quality should be integrated in any sustainable plan.
