Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if applying parafilm as an external barrier on the central line in children having a bone marrow transplant helps to prevent central line associated bloodstream infection(s) and also to assess the ease of use of parafilm.

Primary Outcome

Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) is the identification of a bacterial infection from a blood culture drawn from a central venous catheter (CVC) in the absence of a primary source of infection from another body site. The CLABSI rate (total number of CLABSI/1000 catheter-days) in parafilm study participants will be calculated and compared to the CLABSI rate in a historical cohort of pediatric patients who are serving as a control group.
