- Babies in the neonatal intensive care unit are at high risk for infection.
- UVCs were the primary source of hospital acquired infections in the NICU

Aim of study:

Know the difference between the early planned removal of UVCs and the longer fixed duration in preventing infection of blood stream and other complications.

Methodology:

• Histogram
• Goal directed Checklists

Conclusion:

- Implementation of infection prevention control strategies Can affect the health care associated infection in NICU
