About This Event

Needleless connectors, originally designed to improve the safety of healthcare workers, are increasingly being used to mitigate central line‒associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and central venous catheter intraluminal blood occlusion (CVC-IBO) in patients. There are numerous needleless connectors on the market, with varied internal and external design and features. This webinar examines a pending publication comparing the frequency and clinical and financial impact of CVC-IBO and CLABSI among 16 California, USA hospitals using differently designed needleless connectors.
