CVAD Bundle
The IHI's ( ihi.org ) central line bundle has five key components:

3. Chlorhexidine skin antisepsis;
4. Optimal catheter site selection, with avoidance of using the femoral vein for central venous access in adult patients; and
5. Daily review of line necessity, with prompt removal of unnecessary lines.
