Biosensor-Integrated Central Venous Catheters: An Innovation for Public Health to Prevent CLABSIs in the United States Advancing Infection Prevention

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) remain an important source of preventable morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. This research addresses the possibility of biosensor integrated to central venous catheter for early detection and prevention of infection in the context of public health. CLABSIs remain a substantial source of preventable morbidity, mortality, and health care expense. In this study, we describe the public health promise of biosensor-integrated central venous catheters for early detection and prevention of infection. CLABSIs are still a primary source of preventable morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditures. This study discusses the potential of central venous catheters coupled with biosensors in early detection and prevention of infection in the context of public health.

CLABSIs are still a primary source of preventable morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditures. This study discusses the potential of central venous catheters coupled with biosensors in early detection and prevention of infection in the context of public health. The CLABSI continues to be a leading preventable cause of morbidity, mortality and health care expenditure. This paper looks at the public health potential of biosensor integrated central venous catheters in early identification and prevention of infection.
