Hospital Wide Implementation for Port Protectors to be used on Patients with Central Lines (ONLY)
Dates • November 1st: Nurse Leaders Meeting • Share roll-out plan and answer questions • Obtain buy-in for checking compliance • Obtaining unit’s sign-in sheets (electronically please) with staff names for in-service education • November 28th– December 7th: Education will take place, via roaming in-services on night and day shiftsto all areas. (see flyer) • November 28th: Product will be added to carts • January 1st: Start audits
How Curos Works • Passive Disinfection • Chemical agent – 70% Isopropyl Alcohol • Time of exposure – 3 minutes • Physical barrier – up to 7 days if not removed • No scrubbing necessary (for first access) • FDA 510(k)
Port Protector Guidelines • The Central and Midline Catheter Management and CarePolicy will be followed. See below for specific changes related to the port protector • The port protector • Will be applied to every available port (those that are open to be accessed) on all IV lines on all patients that have a central line. If a patient with a central line also has a PIV, that tubing should have a CUROS on the open ports • Needs a minimum of 3 minutes to complete the disinfection process • Can be left in place for up to 7 days • Is ONE TIME USE ONLY. Always replace with a NEW port protector. • Are NOT used on A-lines or VAMPs.
Port Protector Guidelines cont. • The port protector: • Do not fold or place in your pocket. Do not take home. • Strips will be hung on the IV poles of all patients with central lines, for easy access. Cut strips to avoid waste if a patient will be discharged soon. Only hang one strip at a time to avoid waste. • Continue to use the 15 second hub scrub when needed at other ports that were not covered with a CUROS or when disconnecting (blood drawing). • Never circle back into the IV tubing. Always use a red dead-ender. • For piggybacks, use the back flush method, instead of multiple secondary IV sets to avoid unnecessary disconnecting and reconnecting.

Measuring Compliance – Zero Defect • Zero Defect – • Quality is conformance to requirements • Perform to the requirement you have agreed to and do it right every time. • Defect prevention is preferable to quality inspection and correction • More certain and less expensive to prevent defects than to discover and correct them. • Zero Defects is the quality standard • Aiming at an "acceptable" defect level encourages and causes defects. • Quality is measured in monetary terms – the Price of Nonconformance (PONC) • every defect represents a cost, which is often hidden (CLABSI)

Auditing • HIGH COMPLIANCE MINIMIZES RISK! • Keeps access ports clean and covered • Consistent disinfection process • Peer reviewed data • Saves time • Protects the patient Audits assess the true level of compliance. For this to be effective we need strict compliance, not just cooperation.
Audits for Inpatient Units for a 6 month period • This will be an all or none audit. • ADD TO SHIFT AUDITS/ROUNDS by January 1st • Curoson all unaccessed IV sites on pts with CVC. Y, N, or NA • Reference key: • Y = Yes: is that all unaccessed sites are covered with a curos. • N = No: there are 1 or more uncovered access sites on the IV line or CVC. Please have the auditor put no, even if they place a curos at the time of audit on the access port • NA = Not applicable: the patient does not have a central line • Compliance will be recorded on an ongoing basis for all inpatient patient care units. The shift totals will be sent to Aran Tavakoli monthly. • The goal is 100% compliance • Spreadsheet to be shared for how to calculate and record data
Leader Action Items • Send pre-populated unit sign-in sheets to Aran Tavakoli (via e-mail by November 8th please) • Communicate roll out to staff • Emphasize patient safety and expectation • Identify auditors & process for unit • Post results of audits for staff (send monthly to Aran T) • Share success stories • Create new culture • Continue Excellent Central Line Care
Plan for Implementation • Education for RNs and CCPs required for safe practice, as per current guidelines and recommendations • Proper disposal must be ensured • Signage and patient/family education required • Delivery of warmer units, as required • Documentation of daily CHG bath in EPIC(revision needed) • Ongoing IPCE data; possible impact on CAUTI/SSI
