Optimum time for IV cannulation after induction with Sevoflurane

peripheral iv

“In conclusion, we suggest that the appropriate time for cannulation is 85 seconds (1.45 minutes) after the loss of eyelash reflex in children sedated with dexmedetomidine and induction with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture” Yarimoglu et al (2022).

Modified DIVA Score

peripheral iv

“The m-DIVA score, which incorporates prior history, increases the screening test’s sensitivity in identifying “difficult access” patients and should be further investigated as clinical tool” Rizvi et al (2022).

Peripheral IV administration of vasopressors

peripheral iv

“This study suggests that short-term use of select vasopressors at conservative doses is safe for peripheral administration and points toward efficacy at preventing central line placement” Marti et al (2022).

Peripheral IV catheter bundle research

IVTEAM Peripheral IV

“Further audits identified the problem of noncompliance with the practice of aseptic non-touch technique (ANTT) and a lack of effective leadership in implementing the PVC care bundle” Tan et al (2022).

Out of hospital peripheral IV placement

peripheral iv

“The study aimed to determine the learning curve and success rates in applying IV lines during a three-year paramedic training and the factors influencing successful placement” Häske et al (2022).

Long peripheral IV catheters in children

peripheral iv

“LPCs show promising outcomes in select populations, with longer dwell-time than PIVs and possibly lower rates of serious complications than PICCs” Burek et al (2022).

Peripheral IV cannula insertion standard protocol

peripheral iv

“This study was designed to study the efficacy and safety of recommended Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for peripheral intravascular catheter insertion practice and its comparison with a standard insertion protocol being followed and their outcome” Gupta et al (2022).

Effect of fist clenching on vein visibility

peripheral iv

“In this study, the researchers aimed to determine the average number and duration of fist clenching to increase vein visibility and palpability before peripheral intravenous catheter insertion” Eren et al (2022).

Preventing neonatal peripheral IV insertion pain

peripheral iv

“Kangaroo care, fetal position and swaddling methods can be used in clinical practice in order to reduce the pain level and increase the comfort level during and after peripheral vascular access in prematures” Çiftci et al (2022).

Long peripheral cannula in COVID-19 patients

peripheral iv

“The ultrasound-guided implantation of an 18G LPC in COVID19 patients, regardless of the state of their venous heritage, would seem to be an excellent strategy for these patients, reducing the number of venipunctures and CVC implantation, as well as allowing multiple and high pressure (contrast) infusions” Gilardi et al (2022).

IV securement bundles RCT

peripheral iv

“A large RCT testing securement bundles is feasible, with adjustment to screening processes. Innovative dressing and securement solutions are needed to reduce unacceptable PIVC failure rates” Corley et al (2022).

What fuels poor peripheral IV care – Full Text

peripheral iv

“The clinical management of PIVCs appear ambiguous, unclear, and fragmented, with no clear professional responsibility and no nurse leadership, causing a gap in preventing infections” Blanco-Mavillard et al (2022).

Difficult intravenous access in children – Full Text

peripheral iv

“We identified statistically significant variables related to difficult IV cannulation in children, which we used to develop a prediction tool to assess the likelihood of difficult IV access in pediatric patients” Al-Awaisi et al (2022).

Peripheral IV catheter care project – Full Text

peripheral iv

“This project will improve the practice of the nursing team on peripheral venous catheterization nursing cares, positively influencing the quality of nursing care and patient safety” Catarino et al (2022).

Using ShotBlocker during short PIV insertion

peripheral iv

“As a result, the use of ShotBlocker® during the short PIV insertion procedure is an effective method to reduce the pain caused by the peripheral intravenous catheter” Karabey et al (2022).

Blood sampling from peripheral IV

peripheral iv

“Both blood sampling methods (PVC and direct venipuncture) can be used interchangeably for routine laboratory tests on days 1 and 2 after PVC insertion using 20G/22G PVC or infused PVC” Ben Shabat et al (2022).

Peripheral IV catheter care in oncology

peripheral iv

“At least one in ten PIVCs in cancer units present with complications; regular PIVC assessment and improved dressing integrity is likely to reduce risk and improve outcomes” Larsen et al (2022).

How to insert peripheral IV cannula

peripheral iv

“It then undertook a research study to examine bedside practices with short peripheral catheters, which included direct observation at the bedside once weekly for 6 months” DeVries and Scott (2022).

Unnecessary peripheral IV catheters

peripheral iv

“There seems to be a certain proportion of catheters cannulated unnecessarily in Ambulatory Emergency Care, which would justify the implementation of good practice programmes in the assessment and selection of vascular accesses” Ballesteros-Peña et al (2022).

Peripheral IV catheter needle design

peripheral iv

“The thin-tipped short bevel needle induced lower compressive deformation and displacement of the vein than the conventional needles. This needle has the potential to improve the first-attempt success rate of peripheral intravenous catheterization in patients with difficult venous access” Tanabe et al (2022).
