Résumé
We investigated the impact of a multimodal intervention to improve the compliance of BC collections as a composite outcome, taking into account both blood volume collected and absence of solitary BC. We performed a quasi-experimental study using a before-after design (5 months for pre- and post-intervention evaluation) in an adult emergency department at a tertiary care hospital that showed that a multimodal intervention was associated with a dramatic increase in the proportion of blood cultures that were collected as recommended per national guidelines, from 17.3% (328/1896) to 68.9% (744/1080), P < 0.0001. The implementation of such intervention in other settings could improve the diagnosis of bloodstream infections and reduce irrelevant costs.
