An ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous (UGPIV) quality improvement project occurred in an 849-bed tertiary care hospital with a goal to reduce the use of central lines, in particular, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). Since implementation, PICCs have decreased by 46.7% overall, and 59 nurses in-hospital are competent in placing UGPIVs. Placement of UGPIVs by the bedside nurse is a key initiative in decreasing PICC use and, potentially, infections.
在一家拥有849张床位的三级护理医院开展了一项超声引导下外周静脉穿刺（UGPIV）质量改进项目，目标是减少中心静脉导管的使用，特别是经外周静脉穿刺中心静脉导管（PICC）的使用。自项目实施以来，PICC的使用总体减少了46.7%，医院内有59名护士能够熟练进行UGPIV穿刺。床边护士进行UGPIV穿刺是减少PICC使用并可能降低感染率的一项关键举措。
