Half of the PIVCs required unplanned removal

Take Action- ask you patients and tell your Finance Directors of the costs. We can save money while impoving patient care

"Our findings indicate that almost half of the PIVCs required unplanned removal. Traditionally, PIVCs had been given limited relevance within CRBSI prevention strategies, underestimating the magnitude of the problem [33]. CRBSIs have been more frequently associated with medium and long-term central intravenous devices [34, 35]. Theoretically, catheter indwelling time is one of the major risk factors for PIVC failure [21]"

10% at a time: "From the point of view of quality of care, we recommend that organizations emphasize increasing the improvement initiatives within a wider total quality process that includes adequacy of vascular access device, optimal PIVC insertion care, maintenance and management of intravenous therapy" PIVC failure (CRBSI, dislodgement, extravasation, obstruction and phlebitis), PIVC/hospital length of stay (HLOS) per patient . PIVC characteristics (insertion site, insertion side, cannula size, insertion ward, dressing and removal setting) For example: "When PIVCs are not properly secured, micromotions may encourage migration of microorganisms along the catheter, leading to CRBSI"  #flatpacktraining

10% at a time we say VeinTrain Ltd . A series of factors are creating these astonishing failure rates. This includes poor use or bad design of product.

Our solution:

We can do this togethor.  Join us.  If everyone who went near a cannula received training from those in the know.....we won't have this promblem. our flat pack training simulatar gives everyone access to training and latest reserach and key speakers!!

SCALABLE, LOW COST, CURRENT PRACTICE, PRACTICAL TRAINING, DIGITAL ACCESS

Hear it from these medical students 2 minutes in our Trainer of 40 years, Paulette describes what we were doing with 180 medical students King’s College. Students experience at 2.48 "gave me confidence" 3 mins "going onto the wards is terrifying" empathetic Dr in the making enjoying that simulation is safe. 3.24 - professional attitude, “get the skill down then focus on other things”.This event session was 3 1/2 hours and set them up for their career for Venepuncture and vein selection. The key to our large volume, high practise opportunity....Individual Vein. We also adapted content for their requirements ...a particular focus on sharps injury prevention and what to do , which we were happy to oblige. Now  #flatpack offers standardised and adaptable content for local requirements  #university  #venepuncture  #largegroups  #training  #standardisation  #competency  #reducingcomplications
