Variability in the clinical practice of maintaining the patency of peripheral intravenous catheters.
OBJECTIVE To establish variations in clinical practice associated with maintaining the patency of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIC) and to determine to what extent such clinical practice falls within the limits of the available scientific evidence, based on a random sample Spanish public hospitals. METHODS A cross-sectional, descriptive study was carried out in non-psychiatric public hos...
متن کاملLow-dose heparin use and the patency of peripheral IV catheters in children: a systematic review.
OBJECTIVE To assess evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of low-dose heparin for prolonging patency of peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheters in the pediatric population. METHODS We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify studies up to June 6, 2012. Additional citations were retrieved from the bibliography o...
متن کاملEffect of Continuous Flushing on Patency Time of Peripheral Intravenous Catheters
Background and purpose: Occlusion is a decreasing factor on longevity of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs). Continuous flushing (injection of specific volume of solution such as Normal Saline (N/S) before and after each drug infusion into PIVCs at determined interval time) is one of the effective methods in in vitro studies to maintain the PIVCs patency. The aim of this study was to inve...
متن کاملSaline and Heparinised Flush in Maintaining Patency of Arterial Catheters in Adult Patients—A Systematic Review
This paper compares the effectiveness of normal saline and heparinised saline as a flushing solution in maintaining patency of arterial catheters. Use of heparin as a flushing solution in maintaining patency of intraarterial catheters has been a recognized practice. Due to its anticoagulation properties, heparin can cause side effects like heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in hypersensitive pati...
