Abstract
Aims
This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of interventions, educational strategies, and technological advancements in managing peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs), focusing on PIVC-related complications, insertion success, and patient outcomes.
Design
A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on studies published between 2014 and 2024, assessing educational interventions, training programs, technological innovations, and best practices.
Data Sources
Peer-reviewed articles, systematic reviews, and clinical trials from PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus were included, with key studies by Elasyed et al. (2020), Yilmaz et al. (2023), Arslan & Takman (2022), and Overton (2021).
Review Methods
Studies were selected based on relevance, evidence quality, and methodological rigor. Data focused on intervention types, success rates, complications, and patient safety.
Results
The meta-analysis synthesized data from 38 studies (12 randomized controlled trials, 15 cohort studies, 7 systematic reviews, 4 observational studies). Simulation-based training (15 studies) improved insertion success by 22% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 15–30%) and reduced complications by 18% (95% CI: 10–25%). Structured educational programs (10 studies) as Ahlin (2013) increased knowledge by 20% (95% CI: 13–27%) and reduced complications by 15% (95% CI: 8–22%). Technological innovations, such as intelligent infusion devices (5 studies), increased accuracy by 25% (95% CI: 18–32%) and reduced errors by 20% (95% CI: 12–28%). Advanced securement devices (5 studies) reduced dislodgement by 30% (95% CI: 22–37%) and complications by 25% (95% CI: 18–32%). Bundle care approaches (8 studies) reduced infections by 30% (95% CI: 22–38%) and complications by 20% (95% CI: 15–26%). Standardized protocols (12 studies) improved catheter patency by 22% (95% CI: 16–28%) and reduced infections by 17% (95% CI: 11–23%). Assessment tools (7 studies, eg, Angles et al., 2021) improved care quality by 25% (95% CI: 18–32%) and procedural checklists (3 studies eg, Buckley, Gilbert, 2019) increased adherence to aseptic techniques by 20% (95% CI: 12–28%) and reduced contamination by 15% (95% CI: 8–22%).
Conclusion
The meta-analysis highlights the effectiveness of educational interventions, technological innovations, and best practices in improving PIVC management and patient outcomes, underscoring the need for further research to refine training methods and integrate new technologies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Radiology Nursing promotes the highest quality patient care in the diagnostic and therapeutic imaging environments. The content is intended to show radiology nurses how to practice with compassion, competence, and commitment, not only to patients but also to the profession of nursing as a whole. The journal goals mirror those of the Association for Radiologic & Imaging Nursing: to provide, promote, maintain , and continuously improve patient care through education, standards, professional growth, and collaboration with other health care provides.
