Glue for peripheral IV catheter securement
“We conducted a prospective, single-site, parallel, two-arm randomized controlled investigation with a primary outcome of catheter failure comparing securement with standard semi-permeable dressing and clear tape (SPD) to standard semipermeable dressing and clear tape with cyanoacrylate glue (SPD + CG)” Bahl et al (2021).
Knotted PICC in premature newborn
“A clinician should take into account knotting possibility of PICC while formulating the differential diagnosis when faced up to a malfunctioning line” Yilmaz and Çeri (2021).
Why is my renal fistula difficult to access?
“This study aimed to analyze the causes for difficult fistula cannulation, using various imaging modalities” Behera et al (2021).
Back pain associated with parenteral nutrition administration
“The patient’s back pain was ultimately felt to be an adverse reaction to the multivitamin component of the infusion based on an elimination trial of the PN components” Swartz et al (2021).
Non-sterile to sterile drug compounding during a pandemic
Non-sterile to sterile drug compounding during a pandemic Abstract: The drug supply chain has suffered many interruptions over the past decade. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated
Peripheral IV catheter failure prevention
“Using ultrasonography to all target veins might have contributed to higher success rates of catheterization and extremely low incidence of catheter failure based on objective findings” Abe-Doi et al (2021).
When to use balanced intravenous solutions – Full Text
“Utilization of a large volume of isotonic saline may lead to hypervolemia, hypernatremia, hyperchloremia, metabolic acidosis, and hypokalemia. The use of balanced intravenous solutions has been advocated to avoid these complications” Tinawi (2021).
Nonorthopaedic-related VTE risk with PICC was 61%
“The primary risk factors for NORTH VTEs included intravenous peripheral inserted central catheter/central line (61%; P<0.001) and cancer (27%; P=0.001)" Samineni et al (2021).
Effect of virtual reality on pain during vascular access in children
“Effect of virtual reality on pain during vascular access in children fear, there is significant heterogeneity between studies” Saliba et al (2021).
IV fluid resuscitation in hypotensive cats
“Bolus fluid resuscitation effectively increases blood pressure in hypotensive cats; however, it does not result in normalization of blood pressure, HR, or BT in the majority of cases” Chalifoux et al (2021).
PICC placement in renal patients
“PICC insertion in patients with CKD is practiced frequently. Rigorous strategies should be implemented to improve adherence to clinical practice guidelines and reduce unnecessary insertions and preserve veins for when an AVF may be required” Othman et al (2021).
Occlusion most common implantable port complication – Full Text
“There were 127(10.6%) complications; the most common being catheter occlusion 46(36.2%)” Moralar et al (2021).
Midline catheter and PICC phlebitis rates
“This study provides the first systematic assessment of the risk of phlebitis between midline catheters and peripherally inserted central catheters” Lu et al (2021).
Prevention of vascular access blood stream infections – Free Webinar
“The IPS IV Forum invites you to join our last IV Forum webinar in our Spring webinar series ‘Preventing VAD related blood stream infections’ with speakers Dr Mark Garvey and Professor Jennie Wilson” IPS IV forum (2021).
Invasive devices are risk factor for HAI
“The use of invasive devices is a risk factor for the occurrence of HAI caused by bacteria and fungi” Menezes et al (2021).
IV filters for parenteral nutrition
“This Position Paper aims to review past guidance regarding the filtration of PN, examine the clinical consequences of infusing particulate matter, discuss the challenges and issues related to filtration, and clarify the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) recommendations for the use of filters for PN administration” Worthington et al (2021).
