    Nurses can now insert peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines following a new hospital protocol and training program. This pilot study successfully implemented the program in 25 patients over one year.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Access Devices
    • Nursing Education
    • Intravenous Therapy

    Background:

    • Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines are increasingly utilized for intravenous therapy.
    • Standardized protocols and comprehensive training are essential for safe and effective PICC line implementation.
    • Community hospitals require adaptable models for introducing new medical technologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement a protocol and training program for nurses inserting peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of a PICC line program in a community hospital setting.
    • To establish best practices for PICC line management by nursing staff.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a comprehensive protocol for PICC line insertion and management.

  • Creation and delivery of a specialized training program for registered nurses.
  • Implementation of the protocol and training in a pilot program involving 25 patients over a 1-year period.
  • Data collection on program adherence, patient outcomes, and nursing competency.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful development and implementation of the PICC line protocol and training program.
    • Demonstrated feasibility of the program within a 350-bed community hospital setting.
    • Positive initial outcomes observed in the pilot group of 25 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured protocol and training program can effectively enable nurses to manage peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines.
    • The pilot program provides a foundation for broader adoption of PICC lines in community hospitals.
    • Further research is warranted to assess long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
