简要总结
Blood culture (BC) is the gold standard for the definitive diagnosis of bacteraemia, providing the opportunity to recover and identify the causative organism, and optimize subsequent antimicrobial treatment. Detection of bacteraemia is critical for the management of sepsis. This study aims to examine the performance of the blood culture pathway in Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust using data analysis, questionnaires and focus groups. . Information collected will be used to design interventions that could be used to optimise the blood culture pathway
详细描述
Retrospective data collection relating to the blood volume collected and time to incubation of adult blood culture sets (adult sets comprises of both aerobic and anaerobic blood culture bottle) received in the microbiology laboratory, between February 2023 and April 2024. These samples are routinely collected as standard of care and not for the purpose of this research.
Staff members that collect adult blood cultures within the Trust (nurses, Physician's associates and doctors) will be invited to volunteer for the study. Staff members will participate by completing the questionnaire and/or attending focus groups.
