Abstract

Intravenous catheters are essential for administering medications and fluid therapy; however, complications such as line disconnection can occur, potentially leading to the discontinuation or delay of treatments. A force-activated separation device (FASD) can be installed between line components to help prevent these complications. Since the FASD has rarely been explored in veterinary settings, a survey of clinicians and clinical applications was conducted to evaluate the necessity, effectiveness, and considerations of this device. The survey revealed that approximately half of the respondents reported line disconnections as occurring "sometimes," with patient-related causes being significantly more frequent than those caused by medical staff. Respondents noted that replacing a disconnected catheter typically required considerable time and at least two staff members. Despite this, over half of the respondents indicated that no preventive measures were in place. In clinical applications using the FASD, the overall disconnection rate across all patients was 44.3%, with the rate increasing with the patient's body weight. Large dogs exhibited a disconnection rate of 80% (8 of 10), followed by medium dogs at 55.6% (10 of 18), and small dogs at 31% (13 of 42). Similar to the survey findings, patient-related causes were the most common for line disconnection. Improper separations occurred at a rate of 39.7%, most frequently between the device and the extension set. Line disconnection causes complications, requires manpower and time, and incurs costs. Therefore, preventive strategies are crucial from the perspectives of patients, owners, and clinicians. The FASD can be one of the strategies, particularly in large-breed dogs.

力激活分离装置:预防策略静脉输液线断开在犬病人。
静脉导管对于给药和液体治疗是必不可少的;然而,可能发生诸如断线等并发症,可能导致治疗中断或延迟。力激活分离装置(FASD)可以安装在管线组件之间,以帮助防止这些并发症。由于FASD很少在兽医环境中进行探索,因此对临床医生和临床应用进行了调查,以评估该装置的必要性、有效性和考虑因素。调查显示,大约一半的受访者报告说,线路中断“有时”发生,与患者有关的原因比医务人员造成的原因要频繁得多。受访者指出,更换断开的导管通常需要相当长的时间和至少两名工作人员。尽管如此,半数以上的答复者表示没有采取任何预防措施。在使用FASD的临床应用中,所有患者的总体断开率为44.3%,并且随着患者体重的增加而增加。大型犬的断网率为80%(10只中有8只),中型犬为55.6%(18只中有10只),小型犬为31%(42只中有13只)。与调查结果相似,病人相关的原因是最常见的断线原因。不当分离的发生率为39.7%,最常见的是在装置和延伸装置之间。线路断开会造成并发症,需要人力和时间,并产生成本。因此,从患者、业主和临床医生的角度来看,预防策略至关重要。FASD可以是一种策略,特别是对大型犬。

期刊介绍: Frontiers in Veterinary Science is a global, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that bridges animal and human health, brings a comparative approach to medical and surgical challenges, and advances innovative biotechnology and therapy. Veterinary research today is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant, transforming how we understand and investigate animal health and disease. Fundamental research in emerging infectious diseases, predictive genomics, stem cell therapy, and translational modelling is grounded within the integrative social context of public and environmental health, wildlife conservation, novel biomarkers, societal well-being, and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization. Frontiers in Veterinary Science brings a 21st-century approach—networked, collaborative, and Open Access—to communicate this progress and innovation to both the specialist and to the wider audience of readers in the field. Frontiers in Veterinary Science publishes articles on outstanding discoveries across a wide spectrum of translational, foundational, and clinical research. The journal''s mission is to bring all relevant veterinary sciences together on a single platform with the goal of improving animal and human health.
