Insights

This study operationally defined success in pediatric peripheral intravenous catheterization using the Walker and Avant model. Key attributes, antecedents, and consequences were identified for improved clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Pediatric Care
  • Methodology

Background:

  • Peripheral intravenous catheterization is a common procedure in pediatric care.
  • A clear operational definition of success is crucial for consistent patient outcomes.
  • Existing definitions lack standardization, impacting clinical practice and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To operationally define the concept of success in pediatric peripheral intravenous catheterization.
  • To apply the Walker and Avant concept development model.
  • To establish a clear, evidence-based definition for clinical and research use.

Main Methods:

  • Methodological study using the Walker and Avant concept development process.
  • Systematic literature search of international databases (January-March 2021).
  • Analysis of 47 studies from 17 countries (2008-2021).

Main Results:

  • Identified five critical attributes of success in pediatric IV catheterization.
  • Determined 20 antecedents and 10 consequences related to the concept.
  • Developed an operational definition including model and opposite cases.

Conclusions:

  • The Walker and Avant method successfully operationalized the concept of success for pediatric peripheral IV catheterization.
  • The defined attributes, antecedents, and consequences provide a framework for practice and future research.
  • This definition enhances consistency and quality in pediatric IV therapy.

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.
