Abstract

Background: Education and training may improve outcomes within an experienced vascular access team.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the impact of a standardized peripheral intravenous catheter insertion educational program (Operation STICK) on vascular access outcomes.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was used. Adult inpatients with difficult intravenous access (DIVA) requiring ultrasound-guided insertion by a vascular access specialty team were eligible. Data were collected before and 7 months after the educational training program.

Results: A total of 54 subjects were included (24 pre- and 30 post-implementation). Significant improvements were found for mean peripheral intravenous catheter dwell time (3.62 to 14.97 days, P < .001), completion of therapy (58.3% to 96.7%, P = .001), and first-stick success rate (79.2% to 100%, P = .013). Catheter-to-vein ratio significantly decreased (P = .007).

Conclusions: Standardized education/training in vascular access focusing on best practices yields favorable outcomes for DIVA patients within an established specialty team.

STICK 行动改善了专科团队的血管通路结果：准实验研究

背景：教育和培训可提高经验丰富的血管通路团队的治疗效果：目的：本研究旨在衡量标准化外周静脉导管插入教育计划（STICK 行动）对血管通路治疗效果的影响：方法：采用准实验研究设计。方法：采用准实验研究设计，研究对象为需要由血管通路专业团队在超声引导下插入导管、静脉通路困难（DIVA）的成人住院患者。在教育培训项目开始前和结束后 7 个月收集数据：结果：共纳入 54 名受试者（实施前 24 名，实施后 30 名）。外周静脉导管的平均停留时间有了显著改善（3.62 天到 14.97 天，P 结论：在实施前和实施后，外周静脉导管的平均停留时间均有显著改善：以最佳实践为重点的血管通路标准化教育/培训可为已建立的专科团队中的 DIVA 患者带来良好的治疗效果。
