“The results of the present study suggest that ultrasound-guided positioning of LPCs are safe alternative means of peripheral venous access in children with chronic diseases such as CF” Massimiliano et al (2022).
Heparin to saline locks for flushing CVAD – Full Text
“The objectives of this EBP project were 1) to evaluate whether a significant difference in intraluminal occlusion was associated with the change from HS to NS use for locking CVADs in ambulatory oncology care, and 2) to evaluate the effects of peer nurse mentoring on nurses’ and patients’ perspectives about the practice change” Jabaley et al (2022).
Effect of music on CVC placement anxiety – Full Text
“Music exposure during central venous catheter placement procedures highly significantly reduces anxiety and stress levels and can be used to improve patients’ overall experience in the angio suite” Fleckenstein et al (2022).
Epidemiology of catheter-related bloodstream infections – Full Text
“Over the study, CRBSIs associated with CVC and diagnosed in ICUs decreased while episodes in conventional wards involving peripherally-inserted catheters increased” Badia-Cebada et al (2022).
Retention of needle fragment – Full Text
“Needle fragments are possible causes of local symptoms among PWIDs. The clinical examination presents a potential risk of needlestick injury to the examiner, especially because patients may not be aware of all needle fragments as some are asymptomatic” Laukkala et al (2022).
Optimal PICC tip position using ECG
“Therefore, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the ratios of different waves in ivECG and body external ECG (exECG) when the correct tip location was confirmed by chest X-ray (CXR)” Lee et al (2022).
