BACKGROUND Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) use in health care is common worldwide. Failure of PIVCs also common, resulting premature removal and replacement. OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics, management practices, outcomes internationally. DESIGN Cross‐sectional study. SETTING/PATIENTS Hospitalized patients from rural, regional, metropolitan areas MEASUREMENTS Hospital, device, inserter characteristics were collected along with assessment insertion site. PIVC different...

Abstract The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is growing rapidly. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) one the common applications that assist doctors to monitor patients with chronic or acute illness at remote locations, elderly people in‐home care, and even hospitalized patients. reliability manual systems depends on staff time management which dependent their workload. Conventional involves invasive approaches require skin contact health status. This study aims do a...

Over a billion peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are inserted each year in hospitalized patients worldwide. However, international data on prevalence and management of these devices lacking. The study assessed the PIVCs their practices across different regions world. This global audit involved 14 hospitals 13 countries, with 479 screened for presence PIVC. We found 59% had at least 1 PIVC place, 16% other types vascular devices. also that overall, 25% no device place. majority were by...

Background We sought to identify the reasons for peripheral intravenous cannulae insertion in emergency department (ED), and first-time success rate, along with patient clinician factors influencing this phenomenon. Methods A prospective cohort study of patients requiring a tertiary ED. Clinical data were obtained. Results total 734 cannula (PIVC) insertions included where 460 analysed. The incidence was 86%. antecubital fossa (ACF) site accounted over 50% insertions. Multivariate logistic...

Objectives This study aimed to identify the incidence of and factors associated with peripheral intravenous catheter/cannula (PIVC) first time insertion success (FTIS) in emergency department (ED). Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Two tertiary EDs Western Australia. Participants 879 ED patients. Primary outcome To affecting FTIS using univariate multivariate logistic regression modelling. We created four models: patient only; clinician products technology only all model . assessed...

Peripheral intravenous cannula (PIVC) insertion is one of the most common clinical interventions performed in emergency care worldwide. However, factors associated with successful PIVC placement and maintenance are not well understood. This study seeks to determine predictors first time success department (ED) identify rationale for removal ED inserted patients admitted hospital ward. Reducing failed attempts improving peripheral cannulation practice could lead better staff patient...

BACKGROUND First‐time peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion success is dependent on patient, clinician, and product factors. Failed PIVC are an under‐recognized clinical phenomenon. OBJECTIVE To provide a scoping review of decision aids for including tools, prediction rules, algorithms (TRAs) their findings factors associated with success. METHODS In June 2016, systematic literature search was performed using the medical subject heading catheterization tool * or rule algorithm ....

Up to 85% of hospital in-patients will require some form vascular access device deliver essential fluids, drug therapy, nutrition and blood products, or facilitate sampling. The failure rate these devices is unacceptably high, with 20-69% peripheral intravenous catheters 15-66% central venous failing due occlusion, depending on the device, setting population. A range strategies have been developed maintain patency, including intermittent flushing. However, there limited evidence informing...

Failed attempts at peripheral i.v. cannula (PIVC) insertion in the ED are common. The psychological, physical and economic impact of these failures is significant. We sought to explore whether clinicians differing experience levels can predict their own likelihood (clinician 'gestalt') first-time success on any given patient.Data analyses from a prospective self-reported study assessing risk factors for tertiary adult ED. constructed compared two simple theoretical clinical decision...

Abstract Background Most patients admitted to the hospital via emergency department (ED) do so with a peripheral intravenous catheter/cannula (PIVC). Many PIVCs develop postinsertion failure (PIF). Objective To determine independent factors predicting PIF after PIVC insertion in ED. Methods We analyzed data from prospective clinical cohort study of ED-inserted wards. Independent predictors were identified using Cox proportional hazards regression modeling. Results In 391 2 EDs, rate was 31%...

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has gained great popularity with an aim to measure vital signs and gain patient related information in clinics. RPM can be achieved noninvasive digital technology without hindering a patient’s daily activities enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery acute clinical settings. In this study, system was built using radio frequency identification (RFID) for early detection suicidal behaviour hospital-based mental health facility. A range machine learning...

Objective: We aimed to assess the feasibility of delivering a music therapy program on adolescent psychiatric wards. Method: undertook mixed-methods evaluation pilot program. Various active and receptive techniques were employed in group sessions delivered as part structured clinical Data collected interviews with participants staff feedback questionnaires thematically descriptively analysed triangulated. Results: from 62 returned by 43 patients who took 16 sessions, seven staff, evidenced...

Peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) are the simplest and most frequently used method for drug, fluid, blood product administration in hospital setting. It is estimated that up to 90% of patients acute care hospitals require a PVC; however, PVCs associated with inherent complications, which can be mechanical or infectious. There have been range strategies prevent reduce PVC-related complications include optimizing patency through use flushing. Little known about current status flushing...

Background It is well established that the idle peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) provides no therapeutic value and a clinical, economic above all, patient concern. This study aimed to develop decision aid assist with clinical making promote clinically indicated (CIPIVC) insertion in emergency department (ED) setting. Providing evidence for uniform process could clinicians decision-making PIVC insertion. enable patients receive appropriate vascular access healthcare. Methods We...

Abstract Smartphones and personal sensing technologies have made collecting data continuously in real time feasible. The promise of pervasive the realm mental health has recently garnered increased attention. Using Artificial Intelligence methods, it is possible to forecast a person's emotional state based on contextual information such as their current location, movement patterns, so on. As result, conditions like anxiety, stress, depression, others might be tracked automatically real‐time....
