BSI: Addressing Clinical Challenges with Catheter Maintenance

Understand how to protect IV sites and reduce infection risk. Learn from Marc J. Molitor, MSN, RN, VABC, CIC, about the challenges, evidence, and solutions for reducing intraluminal and extraluminal contamination, and the risk of BSIs. 

Learning Objectives:

• Identify sources of contamination that can lead to bloodstreaminfection (BSI)
• Describe recommended practices and evidence based interventions for cathetermaintenance to reduce BSI risk
• Discuss clinical challenges associated with cathetermaintenance that can impact outcomes
• Identify solutions to address these challenges and clinical studies that support these solutions
