ntravascular haemodialysis catheters are essential in the management of critically & chronically ill patients suffering from acute
injury and chronic renal failure. However, hemodialysis catheter is often complicated by CRBSI, which are associated with
increased morbidity, duration of hospitalization, and additional medical costs. The objectives that were taken in to consideration
include assessing the effectiveness of infection control practice within the unit, comparing infection rates with the international
rate as identified by CDC, identify the causes of vascular catheter infections, developing a standardized surveillance system for
monitoring hemodialysis vascular access infections, educate and enhance the staff awareness about prevention and control of
catheter related infections and reduce patient morbidity &mortality rates. FOCUS PDCA quality improvement methodology was
used for achieving the above objectives in the unit. As per the new changes implemented inDubai hospital renal unit, improvement
has been achieved related to the CRBSI, Quality and continuity of patient care were enhanced, patient’s skills and knowledge
for self-care enhanced. Positive influence on patient/family attitudes like more co-ordination between multidisciplinary team,
enhanced patients and staff satisfaction, reduced CRBSI below the international rate as identified by CDC were observed.
