9 Reduce risk Risk of disconnection Add-on devices are luer lock or integrated design Risk of infection from catheter manipulation ( จากการถอดสายนาเหล อเข าออกๆบ อยๆ) Consider use needleless connector

10 Needleless connector Needleless system integrated or interlinked Pro and Con

11 Needleless connector No design preference Vigorous scrub prior to every access ( scrub the hub)

12 Sterile technique? : pitfall It should be recognized that the external surfaces of all peripheral IV catheter hubs become contaminated during the insertion process, because the hub is grasped with non sterile gloves that topically touched multiple nonsterile surface This surface is then simply covered over by the transparent adhesive film dressing

36 Percutaneous Flush after each access or daily for catheters, or q 6 hrs. Adults: 10ml saline Transparent dressing change q 7 days & prn Tunneled PICC

37 Flush after each use and weekly while accessed; monthly when not accessed - 10ml saline (preservative free for pts. <1yr) - Followed by 4.5ml-5ml heparinized saline 100units/ml for adults. Transparent dressing/ access needle change q 7days Implanted Port

38 Monitor and document site condition: Q 2 hrs for adult Indicates complication: Infiltration Phlebitis Thrombosis Cellulitis Septicemia

39

40 The most common cause is damage to the wall during insertion or angle of placement. STOP INFUSION and treat as indicated by Pharmacy, Medication package insert or drug reference book. Notify MD and document

41 Chemical Mechanical Bacterial

42 Inflammation of loose connective tissue around insertion site. - Caused by poor insertion technique - Red swollen area spreads from insertion site outwardly in a diffuse circular pattern - Treated w/antibiotics

43 Vascular access device will not flush/can t draw blood - Evaluate for kink in tubing or catheter tip against vein wall. Vascular access device (VAD) leaking when flushed - Verify that hub access cap is connected correctly Patient complains of pain while VAD being flushed - Assess for infiltration VAD broken - PICC s may be repaired. All other devices must be replaced

51 IV Care for Pediatric Patient AVA 2016 SOMPORN POOLPANITOOPATUM,HN DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS RAMATHIBODI HOSPITAL

52 Vascular Access in Children Comparison of Options for Vascular Access in Children Method Duration of Use Advantages Disadvantages Peripheral intravenous (IV) access Short term Ease of insertion Low cost Minimal complications Easily occluded Potential for local tissue injury Use limited to certain antibiotics or medications Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) Short-tointermediate term Ease of insertion (bedside) Can be used with variety of medications Relatively safe and inexpensive Potential for occlusion Can be difficult to position in central vein

53 Vascular Access in Children Comparison of Options for Vascular Access in Children Method Duration of Use Advantages Disadvantages Silicone central venous catheter (eg, Hickman, Broviac) Long term Less thrombogenic Decreased infection rate Safe with most medications Increased cost Requires surgical insertion Implantable vascularaccess device (ports) Long or permanent Low visibility, improved body image Lowest rate of infection Increased cost Requires surgical insertion

54 PICC

55 Neonatal and Pediatric PICC Placement: Challenges : - Knowledge - Understanding and proficiency to ensure patient safety and promote optimal outcomes Pediatric PICC Team

56 Sticking with Success: Increasing PICC Insertion Success Rate Within a Pediatric PICC Team Cook Children s Medical Center Why Build a Specialized PICC Team? Increased need for PICC lines Increased consistency - Improved bundle compliance - Increased skill through repetition - Decreased complications through line maintenance - Maintained best practice focus Decreased need for additional resources

57 Sticking with Success: Increasing PICC Insertion Success Rate Within a Pediatric PICC Team Cook Children s Medical Center Why Build a Specialized PICC Team? Decreased Need for Sedation with PICC Placement Decreased cost - Increased Patient Satisfaction = reimbursement - Capability to perform bedside and outpatient PICC insertion with PICC team - Imaging

58 Construction Zone Cook Children s Medical Center Increasing insertion success within the PICC team - Developing a starting point - Establishing support starts driving demand - Orientation and competencies revised - Competencies created for mid-thigh and EJ PICCs placed by senior staff in difficult access patients requiring immediate or emergent access - Addressing growing pains - Focusing on team education and skill development Results = Increased Insertion Success!

59 Pediatric CVC Maintenance Bundles Leadership--Bundle Recommendations Education Education of all clinicians responsible for managing CVC should include : - Compliance of the CVC insertion checklist - All aspects of the CVC care and maintenance strategies - Early identification and management of complications - Educate and monitor compliance of CVC maintenance bundles

60 Leadership--Bundle Recommendations Competency Complete and document initial and annual competencies for all aspects of CVC care by all clinicians who provide care for CVCs. Complete and document annual education for education on central line associated blood stream infection. Specialty Teams Consider use of a specialized teams for performing CVC maintenance procedures e.g. - Dressing changes - Catheter clearance - Catheter repairs

61 Leadership--Bundle Recommendations Routine surveillance of CVCs Collect and benchmark CVC data with the CDC,National Healthcare Safety (NHSN) network Review CVC data for complications or trends

62 Leadership--Bundle Recommendations Leadership support Engage C-Suite leadership support for infection prevention and control efforts with: - Oversight of educational efforts and competencies - Financial and personnel resources to support CLABSI reduction initiatives - Support of product trials and innovation to improve CVC practice and complications Ongoing revision of policies and procedures based on best practice and recent standards,guidelines,and publications

63 Leadership--Bundle Recommendations Leadership support Implementation of the evidence based insertion and maintenance bundles Prompt and continuous review of CVC outcome data Adequate nurse-patient staffing ratios

64 Dressing Selection Troubleshooting in the Presence of Dermatitis And/or Non-Intact Skin What is Standard? There are no exact/universal standards surrounding central line cares HOWEVER, certain recommendation are fairly consistent - Protection form opportunistic infection - Securement

65 Basic Principles of Wound Care Treat underlying condition affecting skin integrity as able Protect from opportunistic infection Prevent additional skin irritation/breakdown Focus on patient comfort Minimize frequency of care as able

66 Applying Basic Skin Care with Vascular Access Device Dressing/Securement Assess the overall condition of the person s skin Ask about prior skin issues with adhesives and/or devices Anticipate length of need for device, if able Consider effects of dehydration-rehydration and/or edema-diuresis Previous reactions or sensitivities to adhesives and/or products may not be isolated Need to avoid limping along
