and full barriers during insertion, avoidance when possible of utilizing the femoral approach, and a primary focus on removing unnecessary central lines. This last intervention is crucial with central lines as each day that a patient has a central line in place, the higher risk they have of dev...
25,26 The primary objective of the study presented here was to determine whether there is an association between CVL location and CVL insertion technique with the incidence of VTE. Central venous line–related variables were collected prospectively according to a standardized case report form. For ...
Insertion of CVCs is one of the most common procedures performed at the patient's bedside. The insertion procedure represents only one aspect of the risk for CLABSI, with the risk extending to all aspects of nursing care and maintenance during t...
If you were a patient requiring a central line, would you choose the practitioner who performs the procedure once in a blue moon or the operator who does lines every day? Most of us do not routinely carry out CVC insertion; however, currently we all need to tick this box to progress. ...
