Brief Summary

Catheter associated blood stream infections (CA-BSI) remain a source of significant morbidity and mortality in adult and pediatric critical care units. While it has been established that CVL maintenance bundles are pivotal to achieving and maintaining low CA-BSI rates, training and retention of proper bundle compliance remains a challenge. The investigators prospectively compared this simulation-based program to a standard educational approach. The investigators hypothesized that implementation of bedside simulation-based training of CVL dressing changes by registered nurses would improve CVL maintenance bundle compliance.

Study Population

Pediatric ICU nurses

You may qualify if:

• Any nurse assigned to the PICU on a regular basis was eligible to participate in the study, including full-time, part-time, and occasional (prn) PICU nursing staff, as well as central staffing office (ICU float nurses) and traveler nurses contracted to the PICU for a minimum of 12 weeks

You may not qualify if:

• Nurses floating from other units, agency nursing personnel, or traveler nurse contract of \< 12 week period were excluded. Nurses on orientation were excluded until completion of introductory 6-month probation period
