Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition01:27

Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

103
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

181
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...

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

170
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Context:

  • Indwelling urinary catheters are common procedures with substantial risks of nosocomial infections and complications.
  • Healthcare-associated infections and non-infectious complications pose significant challenges in patient care.
  • Existing literature suggests that adherence to best practices can mitigate these risks.

Purpose:

  • To implement and evaluate a quality improvement program focused on indwelling urinary catheter management.
  • To enhance professional practices related to catheter indication, monitoring, and usage.
  • To foster a shared culture of good practices among interprofessional healthcare teams.

Summary:

  • A comprehensive interprofessional quality project was established at Trois Chêne geriatric hospital.
  • The program focused on four key areas: equipment knowledge, interprofessional training, clinical documentation, and quality indicators.
  • This initiative aimed to improve the overall management and reduce complications associated with urinary catheterization.

Impact:

  • Potential reduction in the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and other complications.
  • Improved patient outcomes and safety through standardized, evidence-based catheter care.
  • Enhanced interprofessional collaboration and a strengthened culture of quality in healthcare delivery.
