Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Nursing Practice, Mount St. Joseph University, Department of Nursing.
Vascular access therapy is a term used to describe accessing the intravascular space of patients, to infuse blood products and other medications as well as remove blood samples for testing. Having reliable vascular access is crucial for the treatment of ill pediatric patients. Providers have many options available when deciding on the type of vascular access device (VAD) and placement location. Among the VAD options are non-tunneled central lines, tunneled central lines, ports, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), midline catheters, and peripheral intravenous catheters (PIV). This evidence-based practice quality-improvement (EBP-QI) project will focus specifically on the PICC placement through the use of a Care Algorithm for Vessel Selection to reduce unsuccessful insertions and increase vessel preservation in patients. Keywords: vascular access algorithm, vessel preservation, vascular access device complication, competency for nurses, assessment of nursing skills, nursing interventions, algorithm for central placement, lower extremity PICC placement, and femoral PICC placement.
