CLABSI Diagnosis and Central Line Infection Management Protocol

Diagnoses central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) using differential time to positivity criteria, organism-specific management, and catheter removal vs antibiotic lock therapy decision algorithm.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Diagnoses central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) using differential time to positivity criteria, organism-specific management, and catheter removal vs antibiotic lock therapy decision algorithm

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Differential time — The differential time recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the clabsi protocol result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the differential time for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Diagnoses central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) using differential time to positivity criteria, organism-specific management, and catheter removal vs antibiotic lock therapy decision algorithm. Use the clabsi protocol result to inform your clinical assessment.
