- •
Implementation of a central line bundle program including split-septum and single-use prefilled flushing devices in the pediatric intensive care unit lowered central line–associated bloodstream infection rates.
- •
Implementation of a central line bundle program decreased the daily cost of the patients, mainly by decreasing the antimicro bial and antifungal drug costs by increasing infection-free catheter days.
- •
Decrease in antimicrobial and antifungal drug costs saved one-fifth of the daily cost of hospitalization determined by the health care payer.
