The central vascular access device bundle to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections includes using a checklist during insertion,performing hand hygiene before inserting the catheter and anytime someone touches the catheter,using chlorhexidine to disinfect the skin at the site of insertion,using preferred sites,and reviewing the need for the catheter every day.The practitioner who inserts the device should wear sterile gloves,gown and mask,and anyone in the room should wear a mask.A sterile dressing change should be completed per organizational policy,usually every 7 days and as needed.
