Few studies describe quantitative thresholds for daily device review that attempts to drive a decrease in device utilization for central venous catheter devices. Increased device utilization in the period spanning March 2020 through December 2021 paralleled an increased incidence of central line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) within a Medical Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of an acute care hospital. An intervention tool was developed to foster targeted discussions around device utilization to ultimately reduce the risk of CLABSI.
