Description of the Project/Problem Respiratory distress was a main symptom of many patients. However, hospitals were unable to meet the demand for automatic proning beds at the beginning of the pandemic, and no literature on prone positioning for nonintubated patients was published. One clinical nurse specialist identified self-proning as a means to improve respiratory distress, subsequently disseminating education and applying the practice with nonintubated patients with respiratory distress in the emergency department and throughout the COVID units in 1 hospital. Outcome Improved oxygenation saturation was observed by bedside staff after self-proning was implemented. Patients verbalized breathing easier while in the prone position. Patients were reminded to self-prone if their oxygenation saturations decreased. Self-proning afforded some patients enough stamina to call their loved ones before requiring intubation. Conclusion Through this observational experience, it was apparent that this low-risk intervention of nonintubated self-prone positioning improved oxygenation in patients with respiratory distress with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":145249,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nurse specialist CNS","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114333341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods The Vascular Access Specialist Team at Hartford Hospital used Lean Six Sigma methodology to identify and address waste, variability, and defects associated with occlusion management. Interventions Beginning in 2015, all central venous catheter occlusions in acute inpatient care were assessed by a vascular access nurse specialist. First, the decisions to treat with tissue plasminogen activator were determined using a catheter patency algorithm. Second, negative displacement needleless connectors were replaced by antireflux needleless connectors to reduce unintentional blood reflux and other complications associated with intraluminal thrombotic catheter occlusion. Results A total of 159 934 central line days were reported between 2014 and 2020. The hospital achieved a 71.3% reduction in annual tissue plasminogen activator used for occlusions over the study period. There was a sustained decrease in annual average needleless connector consumption of 41% after switching to antireflux needleless connectors in 2015. The 5-year cost savings for these 2 interventions were estimated to be $356 005. Conclusions Lean occlusion management interventions were associated with reduced pharmacy use, medical supply waste, and spending, which have been sustained for over a 5-year period.","PeriodicalId":145249,"journal":{"name":"Clinical nurse specialist CNS","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127382539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Project Description Oncology and critical care nurses were surveyed to identify barriers to adherence to a bundle for central line maintenance. Targeted initiatives based on survey responses were implemented focusing on antimicrobial bathing, increasing confidence in an evidence-based bundle, and its ability to reduce infections. Adherence and central line–associated bloodstream infection rates were monitored at baseline and at 3, 9, and 15 months post intervention. Outcomes Adherence to bundle elements improved post intervention in 4 areas in critical care units: correctly labeling catheter dressings, maintaining an occlusive dressing, clamping unused catheter lumens, and daily antimicrobial bathing. In oncology units, adherence improved in clamping unused lumens and daily antimicrobial bathing. At 9 months post intervention, infection rates decreased from 6.08 to 1.48 in critical care units and 3.13 to 0.30 in oncology units.

Method Patients with COVID-19 were screened and enrolled within 48 hours of a positive test. After approval from the primary team, patients were provided education materials by a multidisciplinary team on the self-prone intervention. Visual cues were placed in the room. Patients were requested to maintain a diary of hours of prone positioning. Patients' baseline characteristics, admission vitals, daily oxygen requirements, and level of care were collected. Results Of 203 patients screened, 31 were enrolled. No pressure-related injury or catheter (intravenous or urinary) displacement was identified.
