Sammanfattning

This article describes a long term infection control program (2002-2014) that has been conducted at Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge Intensive Care Unit. By using a combination of bundles for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and central-lines associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) combined with on-line data from the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR) concerning the infection rates for VAP and CLABSI, the ward has been able to keep a sustainable low frequency of these infections over the years. Key message is »to never stop improving« when it concerns quality improvement.
