SAT-052 VIGILANCE, SURVEILLANCE AND EDUCATION REDUCES RATES OF TUNNELLED HAEMODIALYSIS CATHETER-RELATED BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS

摘要

Centre-wide systematic evaluation and education of hae- modialysis tunnelled catheter-care techniques dramatically reduced the incidence rates of CRBSI. The implementation of a formalised policy and annual competency assessment of catheter care, vigilance and surveil- lance and education is an effective method of improving the rates of CRBSI, patient care and outcomes.
