Abstract:
The purpose of this project was to increase the executive rate of standard nursing care of central venous catheters. The average rating of the procedure used by our nurses in caring for central venous catheters in our unit was 58.5%. Reasons why our rating failed to reach 100% included: (1) there was no clear, detailed explanation of the aseptic technique of standard nursing care of central venous catheters; (2) nurses were too busy to complete the detailed steps necessary to the procedure; (3) nurses were unfamiliar with standard nursing care of central venous catheters. Observation, analysis, literature review and discussions with the Infection Control Team were the measures we adopted to improve the standard nursing care of central venous catheters in our unit. Through the application of what we learned we increased our average rating of standard nursing care of central venous catheters to 100%.
