3 INDICATIONS AND CONTRA-INDICATIONS A set change is required routinely on each patient every 6 months with the Baxter minicap system. It is also necessary if the line splits or becomes disconnected. HAZARDS It is possible to cause contamination to the line during the procedure, which could lead to a peritonitis episode. It is therefore essential that routine set changes should not be undertaken by a member of staff with a cold or sore throat, and if possible avoid if the patient has either of the above. During the procedure the connection is referred to as the titanium connection. It can be a plastic connector but will still be referred to as the titanium. EQUIPMENT LIST Hibiscrub soap Alcohol hand rub Methylated spirit (Hard surface spray) 1 Blue clamp Renal pack 1 Miniset 1 Minicap 1 White connection K shield Paper Towel 3
4 ACTION RATIONALE Ensure set change is taking place in a suitable environment with as little chance of disturbance as possible. Ideally in a treatment room with a no entry sign on. Expose the patients PD catheter. Apply the blue clamp to the catheter, above the titanium connector. Put on a plastic apron and wash hands thoroughly in hibiscrub. Clean dressing trolley with methylated spirits. Open renal pack on to cleaned surface. Use alcohol rub on hands, wait for hands to dry. Reducing opening & closing of doors & passage of people will reduce disturbance of airborne particles & hopefully reduce the risk of infection. Prevent fluid draining out during the set change. To prevent cross contamination and cross infection (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust 2015) Effective hand washing is a pre-requisite to effective aseptic technique (Rowley 2001) To reduce the risk of contaminating the key parts as highlighted in Rowley (2001) Reducing the risk of infection (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Truest Hand Hygiene policy 2013) 5 Place dressing towel under the patients PD catheter. To act as a sterile field. 4
5 6 Place white K shield around titanium connector, and use to clean the area. Leave the shield around the connection until ready for set change. 7 Return to trolley. Attach minicap to miniset line and turn off roller clamp. Pull the end off miniset connection. Place gauze around the exposed connection end of miniset line. To clean the connection as the k shield has betadine soaked sponges in them. To reduce the risk of infection. To prevent the open end of miniset becoming contaminated during set change. Thus reducing the risk of infection. 8 Remove K shield from patient s line. 9 Using 2 nd piece of gauze hold on to titanium remove old line and attach new line as quickly as possible. Speed is necessary to reduce infection risk. Using gauze helps to grip ends securely and prevents hands touching the ends of the lines. 10 Remove blue clamp 11 Ensure CAPD staff are informed of what has happened to this patient. To ensure that follow-up can be organised. REFERENCES Rowley, S. (2001) Aseptic Non-Touch Technique.
