ABTRACT Central Venous Catheter Blood stream infections (CVCBSIs) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end- stage renal disease treated with chronic haemodialysis (Jaber 2005).The purpose of this review is to determine whether the use of Biopatch on the exit site of central venous catheter (CVC) can help prevent infection. Before any research was undertaken‚ a focused question was formulated and a search strategy was then developed to compare the available evidence. A

Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Pulmonary artery catheterization is a procedure that is done to test blood movement through the heart and to monitor the heart’s function. In this procedure‚ a thin‚ flexible tube (catheter) is passed into the right side of the heart and into the main artery that carries blood from your heart to your lungs (pulmonary artery). The procedure may be done to evaluate or help diagnose various problems‚ such as: • Heart failure. • Shock. • Leaky heart valves (valvular

Best Practices to Prevent Catheter Related Bloodstream Infections NUR 271 Fall 2013 The United States Centers for Disease Control estimates that each year one in twenty hospital patients will contract a Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI). When further examined‚ the number of infected patients is approximately 1.7 million per year resulting in nearly 99‚000 deaths (CDC‚ 2011). Due to numbers like this‚ healthcare organizations‚ professional associations‚ and patient advocacy

Introduction This is critique of a randomized controlled trial study in relation to catheter-related bacteremia as the most frequent complication of the central venous catheter (CVC). The purpose of the study is to decide whether the use of 0.5% tincture of chlorhexidine or 10% povidone-iodine solution‚ is the most beneficial for preventing CVC exit site colonization‚ significant catheter tip colonization and catheter-related bacteremia in ICU patients. Protection of Human Participants Risks and

Intravenous Therapy‚ also known as IV therapy‚ is the administration of fluids or medications directly into the vein. It is one of the most common procedures that nurses encounter in a healthcare setting on a routinely basis. According to Ogston-Tuck (2012)‚ “…80 % of hospital patients are likely to receive some forms of IV therapy”(Ogston-Tuck‚ 2012). Therefore‚ it is exceptionally vital for nurses to be aware and knowledgeable of the indications‚ vascular access devices‚ potential complications

with a central line. The national patient safety goal NPSG.07.04.01 is to implement evidence-based practices to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections. This requirement covers short- and long-term central venous catheters and peripherally inserted central catheter lines. New guidelines regarding central line infections have been established for health care facilities to execute based on the most recent findings and statistics. The average payment for a patient who developed a central

In our clinical rotation‚ we noticed that some nurses implemented the usage of the disinfecting port protectors to prevent infection‚ while others did not. Studies show that consistent use of Curos disinfecting caps on IV needleless connectors is associated with decreased central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). In 2014‚ an estimated 250‚000 people in the United States were affected by catheter related bloodstream
