A Culture of Quality Prevents CLABSIs in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Extremely low birth weight infants are at heightened risk of developing central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSIs) during their extended NICU stays. Creating a culture of quality and eliminating variability in practice are essential aspects of a quality program aimed at improving outcomes for the tiniest patients.
