Suttle, Rebecca D; Buffington, Heather M; Madden, Wendy T; Dawson, Martha A
- Abstract
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are associated with an increased risk of mortality, prolonged hospitalizations, and inflated cost of care. Patients in the hematology-oncology specialty unit are at greater risk of developing CLABSIs because of their immunocompromised state and high number of central line (CL) days.
