Central Line Infections - A/b and Ethanol Locks

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone willing to share their policies on a/b and ethanol locks? At our hospital, the CLABSI rate is increasing and we are reviewing if anyone is using a/b or ethanol locks different/prophylaxis for pts with documented central line infections. If you want you can post policy or protocols on discussion board or email pananthasingam@blythedale.org. Thank You for you help.
