| phase | VAP rate | CAUTI rate | CLABSI rate | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of patients | No. of VAP | ventilator days | VAP rate | No. of CAUTI | Catheter days | CAUTI rate | No. of CLABSI | Central line days | CLABSI rate | |
| Base line | 24 | 5 | 68 | 73.5 | 6 | 127 | 47.2 | 3 | 405 | 7.4 |
| Implement. | 12 | 1 | 30 | 33.3 | 1 | 55 | 18.18 | 1 | 209 | 4.78 |
| Follow up | 21 | 2 | 56 | 35.7 | 2 | 119 | 16.8 | 1 | 360 | 2.77 |
| Total | 57 | 8 | 154 | - | 9 | 301 | - | 5 | 974 | - |
VAP rate = VAP events/total number of ventilator days × 1000, CLABSI rate = CLABSI events/total number of central line days × 1000, CAUTI rate = CAUTI events/ total number of urinary catheter days × 1000, VAP = Ventilator-associated pneumonia, CLABSI = Central line-associated bloodstream infection, CAUTI = Catheter-associated urinary tract infection
