IV Management Jan Bazner-Chandler RN, MSN, CNS, CPNP
Central Line Bundle • Hand Hygiene • Maximal barrier precautions upon insertion • Chlorhexidine skin antisepsis • Optimal catheter site selection; subclavian vein is the preferred site for non-tunneled catheter • Daily review of line necessity with prompt removal of unnecessary lines
CA-BSI • Central venous catheter-associated blood stream infection • Three criteria for diagnosis
Criterion I • A recognized pathogen in the blood found from one or more blood cultures, and the pathogen is not related to an infection at another site.
Criterion 2 • Patient has at least one of the following signs or symptoms: fever (over 100.4 F or 38 C, chills, hypotension and • Positive laboratory results not related to infection at another site • Common skin contaminant identified in two separate cultures taken within 48 hours of each other.
Criterion 3 • A patient less than one year old has at least one of the following signs or symptoms: fever (over 100.4 F or 38 C) or hypothermia (under 98.6 F 37 C) apnea, or bradycardia and • Positive laboratory results not related to an infection at another site • Common skin contaminant found in two blood draws – within 48 hours
Risk Factors • Three lumen catheters • TPN running through central line • Inexperienced physician inserting line • Low patient – nurse ratio • Long – term catheter • Special care units
Total Parental Nutrition A tunneled catheter should have An occlusive dressing in place. Whaley & Wong
TPN Therapy • TPN provides complete nutrition for children who cannot consume sufficient nutrients through gastrointestinal tact to meet and sustain metabolic requirements. • TPN solutions provide protein, carbohydrates, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and fats.
TPN: care reminder caREminder: • The TPN infusion rate should remain fairly constant to avoid glucose overload. The infusion rate should never be abruptly increased or decreased. • Bag and tubing need to be changed every 24 hours.
Complications of TPN • Sepsis: infection • Liver dysfunction • Respiratory distress from too –rapid infusion of fluids
