24
Overview of Presentation
• Address similarities and differences between
CLABSI and SSI
• Assess the impact of these two infections
• Analyze potentially protective approaches
25
Similarities Between CLABSI and SSI
• Both infections result primarily from breaking
skin integrity
• Both infections are caused mostly by skin
organisms
• Both infections occur at unacceptably high rates,
can be difficult to manage, may require future
intervention(s), and are expensive to treat
26
Differences Between CLABSI and SSI
• CLABSI manifests while the catheter is still in
place, whereas SSI can manifest at any time after
surgery, usually by 30 days post-op
• Microbiologic cause of CLABSI is almost always
identified, whereas the microbiologic cause of
SSI is unknown in many patients
• Occurrence of CLABSI can be attributed to
various healthcare providers, whereas SSI is
typically linked to the surgeon
27
Clinical Manifestations of infected CVC
• Exit site infection
• Tunnel infection
• Thrombophlebitis
• BSI
Impact of CLABSI
• Incidence: of the 6 million CVC inserted
annually in the U.S., 250,000 result in BSI
• Management: cure often requires removal of
the infected catheter and long antibiotic
therapy
• Medical sequelae: attributable mortality 5%25%
• Economic burden: cost of treatment is $10K$56K; annual cost in U.S., $3 billion–$16.8
billion

Difference between Surveillance Definition
(by National Healthcare Safety Network: NHSN)
and Clinical/Microbiologic Definition of CLABSI
• Surveillance definition: includes all cases of BSI
in patients with CVC in whom other sites of
infection are excluded (catheter-associated BSI
varies from from 1.3/1000 cath-days in medical
surgical wards to 5.6/1000 cath-days in burn
ICU)
• Clinical/microbiologic definition: includes only
cases of BSI in patients with CVC in whom
other sites of infection are excluded and
microbiologic relationship of catheter to BSI
33
exists (catheter-related BSI)
Relationship between Catheter
Colonization and Bloodstream Infection
• Principle: catheter colonization is a prelude to
catheter-related bloodstream infection
• Objective: to prevent infection by inhibiting
catheter colonization

•
Staff education and training
Insert CVC in subclavian catheters
Place hemodialysis catheters in jugular or femoral veins
Promptly remove CVC when no longer essential
Hand wash with soap/water or alcohol-based hand rubs
Utilize 2% chlorhexidine-based preparation for skin
cleansing before inserting CVC, during dressing changes,
and wiping access ports of needleless catheter systems
• Use sterile gauze or transparent semi-permeable dressings
• Use antimicrobial-impregnated CVC if expected duration
of placement >5 days and CLABSI remains higher than
goal set by institutions despite comprehensive strategy

NQF CLABSI Prevention Safe Practice
Specifications: 2010 Update
Before insertion:
• Educate healthcare personnel involved in the insertion, care, and
maintenance of central venous catheters (CVCs).
At insertion:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use a catheter checklist at the time of CVC insertion.
Perform hand hygiene prior to catheter insertion or manipulation.
Avoid using the femoral vein for central venous access in adult patients.
Use a catheter cart or kit with components for aseptic catheter insertion.
Use maximal sterile barrier precautions.
Use chlorhexidine gluconate 2% and isopropyl alcohol solution as skin
antiseptic preparation in patients over two months of age and allow
appropriate drying time per product guidelines.
After insertion:
• Use a standardized protocol to disinfect catheter hubs, needleless
connectors, and injection ports before accessing the ports.
• Remove nonessential catheters.
• Use a standardized protocol for non-tunneled CVCs in adults and
adolescents for dressing care.
• Perform surveillance for CLABSI and report the data on a regular basis.
36
Comprehensive Protective Strategy
Infection Control Bundle
• Hand washing
• Maximal barrier precautions
• 2% chlorhexidine-based skin antisepsis
• Avoiding femoral site if possible
• Removing unnecessary catheters
37
Potential Limitations of Traditional
Infection Control Measures
Although very essential, they:
• Are not easily enforceable
• Are not very durable
• Do not completely prevent
infection
• Save some, but not
enough, lives
Reasons to Optimize Prevention of SSI
• Unacceptably high incidence: the 30 million
annual surgical procedures in the U.S. result in
300,000-500,000 cases of SSI
• Difficult management: may require repeated
surgical interventions
• Serious medical consequences: tremendous
morbidity and occasional mortality
• Soaring economic burden: annual cost of
treatment in the U.S. is >$7 billion
39
Perioperative Approaches
for Preventing SSI
• Non-antimicrobial approaches
• Normothermia
• Adequate oxygenation
• Tight glucose control
• Antimicrobial approaches
• Systemic antibiotic prophylaxis
• Nasal application of mupirocin
• Skin antisepsis
40
Impact of Timing of Systemic Antibiotic Prophylaxis on SSI
41
A Prospective Randomized Trial of Nasal
Mupirocin Plus Chlorhexidine Wash
Rapid identification of nasal carriage by S. aureus
followed by a 5-day course of nasal mupirocin plus
chlorhexidine wash:
• Reduces S. aureus infection (3.4% vs. 7.7%)
• Decreases S. aureus SSI by almost 60%
Bode, et al. N Engl J Med 2010;362:9-17
42
Importance of the Skin
• Largest bodily organ
• Protective barrier
• Skin flora most
common cause of SSI
(and CLABSI)
• 80% of bacteria reside
in epidermis
Factors that Support the Need for
Optimal Skin Antisepsis
• Most pathogens that cause SSI are skin flora
• At least 2/3 of cases of SSI are incisional
• Most SSI are considered preventable
• Other preventive measures reduce but do not
eliminate SSI
44
Commonly used Preoperative
Antiseptics
• Povidone-iodine (Iodophor)
• Chlorhexidine gluconate
• Alcohol
• Combination products: >2 active agents
45
Comparison of Antimicrobial
Activity of Antiseptic Preparations
Chlorhexidine-based preparations are better
than alcohol or iodine-based products in:
• Reducing colonization of vascular catheters
• Preventing contamination of blood cultures
• Decreasing contamination of surgical tissues
46
Pressing Need to Compare Clinical Efficacy
of Antiseptic Preparations in Preventing SSI
• CDC guidelines for prevention of infections
related to vascular catheters recommend
antiseptic cleansing of the skin with 2%
chlorhexidine-containing products
O’Grady, et al. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep
2002;51(RR-10):1-29
• CDC has not previously issued a preference as
to type of preoperative skin antiseptics
47
Prospective, Randomized, 6-Center Clinical
Trial of 849 Patients
• Population: adult patients scheduled for abdominal or
non-abdominal clean-contaminated surgery
• Randomization: hospital-stratified
• Intervention: preoperative skin cleansing with:
• ChloraPrep® (2% chlorhexidine gluconate-70%
isopropyl alcohol = CA) 26-ml applicators; OR
• 10% povidone-iodine (PI) scrub and paint
• Evaluation: SSI was assessed by blinded evaluators

Chlorhexidine-Alcohol (CA) vs. PovidoneIodine (PI) for Prevention of SSI
• CA significantly reduces SSI
• Number of patients needed to receive CA
instead of PI to prevent one case of SSI: 17
• Delays onset of SSI
• CA and PI have similar rates of adverse events
(including events related to study medication in
0.7% in each group) and serious adverse events
52
New CMS Regulations (effective 10/08)
Changes to Inpatient Prospective Payment System
10 non-reimbursable conditions met these criteria:
• High cost
• High volume
• Triggers a high-paying MS-DRG
• May be considered reasonably preventable
through application of evidence-based
guidelines
Federal Register, Volume 73, No. 161; 08/19/08
53
Non-reimbursable Infectious Conditions
• Catheter-associated urinary tract infection
• Vascular catheter-associated infection
• Surgical-site infection-mediastinitis after CABG
• Surgery on various joints, including shoulder,
elbow, and spine
54
Perspective
Optimal prevention of CLABSI and SSI can:
• Improve patient care
• Incur cost-savings
• Enhance infection control measures
