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...
To assess the relative importance of independent risk factors for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) failure.Secondary data analysis from a randomized controlled trial PIVC dwell time. The Prentice, Williams, and Peterson statistical model was used to identify compare phlebitis, occlusion, accidental removal.Three acute care hospitals in Queensland, Australia.The included 3,283 adult medical surgical patients (5,907 catheters) with greater than 4 days expected use.Modifiable occlusion...
Almost 70% of hospitalized patients require a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV), yet up to 69% PIVs fail prior completion therapy.To identify risk factors associated with PIV failure.A single center, prospective, cohort study.Medical and surgical wards tertiary hospital located in Queensland, Australia.Adult requiring PIV.Demographic, clinical, potential were collected. Failure occurred if the had complications at removal.We recruited 1000 patients. Catheter failure 512 (32%) 1578 PIVs....
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...
Peripheral intravascular cannula/catheter (PIVC) insertion is a common invasive procedure, but PIVC failure before the end of therapy unacceptably high. As disrupts treatment and reinsertion can be distressing for patient, prevention an important patient outcome. Consumer participation in care to prevent untapped resource. This study aimed understand consumers’ experience; establish aspects relevant them; compare experiences adult consumers carers child. An international, web-based,...
Peripheral intravenous device (IVD) complications were traditionally thought to be reduced by limiting dwell time. Current recommendations are resite IVDs 96 hours with the exception of children and patients poor veins. Recent evidence suggests routine is unnecessary, at least if devices inserted a specialised IV team. The aim this study was compare impact peripheral IVD 'routine resite' 'removal on clinical indication' in general hospital without an team.A randomised, controlled trial...
Objective: Peripheral arterial catheters are perceived as having low infective potential compared with other and may be overlooked a cause of catheter-related bloodstream infection. We aimed to measure colonization rates infection in catheters, investigate risk factors for catheter colonization, compare those concurrently sited managed central venous catheters. Design: Prospective 24-month cohort study. Setting: Eight-bed combined general intensive care high-dependency unit 350-bed...
OBJECTIVES: Vascular access device decision-making for pediatric patients remains a complex, highly variable process. To date, evidence-based criteria to inform these choices do not exist. The objective of the Michigan Appropriateness Guide Intravenous Catheters in pediatrics (miniMAGIC) was provide guidance on selection, characteristics, and insertion technique clinicians, balancing contextualizing evidence with current practice through multidisciplinary panel experts. METHODS: RAND...
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...
