Multicenter Clinical Translational Study of "ICU-NO CRBSI" Based on Improvement Science

The goal of this type of study is to construct the continuous quality promotion project "ICU-NO CRBSI(Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection , CRBSI)" based on improvement science, and to verify its effect in the prevention of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection and continuous quality improvement in ICU ( Intensive Care Unit , ICU) through multi-center implementation and two rounds of improvement. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: What is the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection in the ICU of participating units? How compliant are health care providers in the ICU with evidence-based sensory control practices for the prevention of catheter-associated bloodstream infection? Participants will be provided with the hospital's routine CVC (Central Venous Catheter ,CVC) care practices and CVC quality improvement measures based on evidence-based guidelines What technical and cultural support is needed to implement quality and safety improvement measures?

Optimizing Access Surgery In Senior Hemodialysis Patients

The number of elderly hemodialysis patients is growing. Vascular access complications are a major determinant of the quality of life and health care costs for these vulnerable patients. The three different types of vascular access, i.e. autologous arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous grafts, and central venous catheters, have never been compared in randomized controlled trials. This project will deliver the much-needed evidence to determine the optimal strategy for vascular access creation in elderly hemodialysis patients in order to deliver better health care at lower costs.
