Two years following the adoption of clinical indication policies for short peripheral catheters (SPCs), a large community hospital undertook 2 extensive point prevalence reviews at 1-year intervals to study the overall outcomes associated with the SPCs. The findings were used to enhance documentation as well as staff awareness. A bundled approach was taken, focusing on insertion as well as care and maintenance needs. Consistent outcomes included at least 20% of catheters remaining functional more than 7 days and 35% more than 5 days.
在采用短期外周导管(SPC)临床指征政策两年后,一家大型社区医院每隔一年进行两次广泛的现患率审查,以研究与SPC相关的总体结果。这些结果被用于加强文件记录以及提高工作人员的意识。采取了一种综合方法,重点关注插入以及护理和维护需求。一致的结果包括至少20%的导管在7天以上仍保持功能,35%的导管在5天以上仍保持功能。
