The article discusses research which examined how nursing practices may have impacted central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates among intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19 during the first few months of the pandemic. Cited are the relationship between ICU COVID-19 patients with those with and without CLABSI, in terms of adherence, ICU incident reporting data on infusion and infusion medication errors and near misses, and study implications for nurse leaders.
