The Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Insertion Bundle and Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Prevention Bundle were first jointly published by SICSAG and Health Protection Scotland (HPS) in May 2007. The bundles were agreed by experts in intensive care and infection control, from around Scotland.
The aim of these bundles is to improve practices, alongside documented evidence of compliance with evidence based practice aimed at improving patient outcomes.
A review of the content against current available guidelines and evidence has now been undertaken by the Infection Control Team, HPS to ensure key recommendations are still accurate for prevention of healthcare associated infections.
Please note there are Learnpro modules available on VAP and Central Line Infection prevention.
