Introducing a nursing maintenance bundle for patients with pulmonary arterial catheters. (21st October 2019) - Ben-Aderet, Michael A.
Abstract: We undertook a quality improvement project to address challenges with pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) line maintenance in a setting of low-baseline central-line infection rates. We observed a subsequent reduction in Staphylococcal PAC line infections and a trend toward a reduction in overall PAC infection rates over 1 year.
