Umbilical catheter associated infections are higher (4.4 vs. 3.4 CLABSIs per 1000 line days) than other central lines such as PICCs and surgically placed CVLin the NICU. (www.CDC.gov - NSHN 2010 Report). Routine care of the skin entry site (e.g. central line dressing care) is standard for other central lines, but there is no standard for care of the umbilical stump while umbilical lines are in place.
