Insights

Peripheral intravenous therapy infiltration and extravasation (PIVIE) risk factors in pediatric surgery patients include sex, age, disease type, puncture site, and indwelling time. Careful assessment and selection of puncture sites are crucial for prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Vascular Access Devices
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are essential for medication delivery in pediatric surgery.
  • Infiltration and extravasation injuries (PIVIE) pose significant risks to pediatric patients.
  • Identifying risk factors for PIVIE is critical for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify risk factors associated with peripheral intravenous therapy infiltration and extravasation (PIVIE) in pediatric surgery inpatients.
  • To provide data for developing targeted preventive strategies against PIVIE.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational study at a tertiary general hospital.
  • Logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for PIVIE.
  • Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to assess the relationship between PIVIE and duration.

Main Results:

  • The study analyzed 11,006 pediatric surgery inpatients and 19,771 PIVCs.
  • The overall incidence of PIVIE was 16.93%.
  • Significant predictors of PIVIE included sex, age, disease classification, puncture site, and indwelling time.

Conclusions:

  • Sex, age, disease type, puncture site, and indwelling time are significant risk factors for PIVIE in pediatric surgery patients.
  • Effective assessment and selection of puncture sites are paramount.
  • Informed clinical judgments based on patient-specific factors are necessary to minimize PIVIE risk.

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,...

Endocarditis IV: Nursing Management

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a chronic infection of the heart's endocardium, primarily affecting the heart valves. A detailed nursing assessment for a patient with IE involves collecting subjective and objective data to ensure an accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.Subjective DataThe nurse gathers information about the patient's symptoms and complaints during the subjective assessment. Patients with infective endocarditis often report non-specific symptoms that can mimic other...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.
One of the advantages of...

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
