SHEA 2011 New Product Evaluation Poster: Impact of Alcohol Impregnated Port Protectors and Needleless Neutral Pressure Connectors on Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections and Contamination of Blood Cultures in an Inpatient Oncology UnitWest Virginia University Health System
A recent study conducted by a 376-bed academic medical center found Curos more effective than hub swabbing procedures in reducing CLABSI and contaminated blood cultures drawn via central venous catheters, in part, because nurse compliance with Curos is high (greater than 85 percent on average). Researchers saw an 86.2 percent reduction in CLABSI and a 92 percent fall in contaminated blood cultures equating to an estimated annualized cost avoidance of $500,000.
