Dear colleagues,
We are currently reviewing best practice management of peripheral
intravenous cannulas (PIVCs), central venous access devices (CVADs), and
indwelling urinary catheters (IDCs).We are interested to know what interventions and strategies other health
care services have in the multidisciplinary care of these devices and
how such practices are sustained.For instance:
*How do staff undertake a daily review of an IDC and how do they
know when the device is due for change or removal?
*Is your documentation electronic or written and does it feature
prompts?
*Do you have patient education materials regarding these devices?
*How do you address IV line labelling in your organisation?
*What systems do you have in place to ensure best practice is
being maintained by staff?Your feedback on successful interventions in the care of PIVCs, CVADs
and IDCs (we are interested in any aspects of this and not limited to
the questions above) is most appreciated.Please feel free to contact me directly via my contact information
below.With thanks in advance,
Daniela

Hi Daniela
We have just instituted an ‘Invasive Device Log Sheet’ for staff to track the presence of invasive devices and their removal. It is also designed to prompt discussion about removal of unnecessary devices. We will be auditing the use of the log sheet in the next few months to ensure it is being used correctly. It does not replace insertion records, but simply records the existence of all invasive devices in the patient and their removal.
This is currently a printed form, but we are moving towards an electronic clinical record and it is proposed this will form party of it.
I can send you a copy of our log sheet if you are interested. The concept behind it was provided by our ID physician from another hospital.
We also have regular ward audits on line labelling that are reported to a medication committee for action.
Cheers

Hi Daniela,
We are currently trialling an invasive devices tracking sheet as well. It is focussed on indwelling rather than all invasive devices. This form has been designed to replace one that purely focussed on IVDs. We have tried to eliminate free text and have included prompts to plan for removal/replacement of all devices including IDCs.
In relation to your specific questions
* How do staff undertake a daily review of an IDC and how do they know when the device is due for change or removal?
On the new form we are trialling staff must record when a device is due for change or removal – this includes IDCs. This form is used to assist with bedside handover. It must be completed each shift as relevant* Is your documentation electronic or written and does it feature prompts?
Paper based bedside form, no specific prompts but staff are to record when a device is due for change/removal* Do you have patient education materials regarding these devices?
Not specifically at present* How do you address IV line labelling in your organisation?
We use a dressing with a date/ time of insertion label* What systems do you have in place to ensure best practice is being maintained by staff?
This form has a barcode and will be fully auditable with the ability to provide feedback on use and complianceIf you think our form we are trialling may be of interest you are welcome to let me know and I would be happy to share it with you off line, even though it is still being developed.
Kind regards
Rachel
