Hi Sue

I applaud your excellent PIV documentation!

There is Cochrane evidence to support clinically indicated removal of PIVs compared to routine replacement are there any plans for the future to move to clinically indicated removal?

Kind regards
Kerrie

Hello All,

We are looking to improve our compliance with documentation regarding insertion and removal of PIVC in our medical notes. Does anybody has any forms/tools or ideas which work and happy to share?

Regards
Sonja

Hi Cath

I was the Clinical Project Lead for the Quality Department’s org-wide CVAD Project at Austin Health. The aim was to review all policies, practices and products, incorporate current best practice. This was completed in May 2015. Remarkable results have been evident with zero CVAD related SAB rates since Aug 2015 with the Haem / Onc / Bone Marrow Transplant Unit being a little more challenging patient cohort to bring to zero.

There are a number of nurse-led insertion services within Australia (Sydney, Brisbane and Perth being hotspots) but few teams that manage all vascular access devices from insertion to removal. Much more common overseas. There is significant amount of evidence about the benefits of a vascular team in regards to patient outcomes and cost benefits.

Happy to speak further.

Thanks
Kerrie

We are currently undertaking a Vascular Access Device Quality Project at CCLHD
We are interested to know if any LHD’s / Private Hospitals have dedicated a Vascular Access Device service.
We would also be interest to know the structure of the service i.e. scope plus types & numbers of positions e.g. NUM, CNC, CNE, CNS, RN.
If you do have a dedicated Vascular Access Device service – have you observed a decrease in PIVC / CVAD related infections / injury?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Many Thanks
