摘要:
The infusion nurse specialist working with pediatric patients must demonstrate competencies related to all stages of child growth and development. In addition, specific skills requiring competency validation in the pediatric practice setting include calculation of pediatric dosages, maintaining fluid balance, use of specific devices, age-specific skills, and management of complications. This article presents a discussion of each of these areas as well as recommendations for methods of competency validation.

摘要:
The legal aspects of caring for patients and the fear of disciplinary actions or malpractice suits understandably are matters of great concern for infusion specialists. This article is intended to be a broad overview of some of the legal causes of action that may arise through the rendering of professional nursing care, as well as an introduction to patients’ rights to self-determination, informed consent, and informed refusal as a special area of litigation risk for the infusion specialist.

摘要:
The volume of infusion therapy services provided in the long-term care setting has declined. One major influence has been the changes in reimbursement experienced in this sector of the industry. This article is intended to stimulate the long-term care clinician to reexamine the service offered and to be creative in his or her approach to building infusion services. The article also explores parallels to the home infusion industry, which has evolved through similar changes, with the intent of learning from its experiences.

摘要:
Many factors impact the success of home infusion therapy. A model has been designed to incorporate all of the factors that need to be considered when setting up a home infusion program. The primary factors included in the model are patient, nursing, medical, caregiver, equipment, environment, medication, and legal issues. Each of the factors are subdivided into relevant points to be included in the patient’s discharge management plan. Using the model will help nurses make a comprehensive patient assessment, plan patient and caregiver education, and assist patients in completing their course of infusion therapy.

摘要:
The safety and efficacy of a second-generation improved antiseptic catheter impregnated with silver sulfadiazine and increased levels of chlorhexidine on its outer surface and chlorhexidine alone on its luminal surfaces was compared in vitro and in vivo to standard antiseptic catheters impregnated with these antimicrobials on their outer surfaces only. In rat and pig intravenous models, the improved antiseptic catheter was significantly more effective in resisting both outer surface and luminal colonization compared with the standard antiseptic or control catheters. There was no evidence of tissue toxicity in any group.

摘要:
Using a randomized, controlled study, the investigators evaluated and compared the effects of local anesthesia versus no anesthesia on pain associated with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion. A sample of 42 subjects was selected and divided into three groups. Group 1 received EMLA cream. Group 2 received buffered lidocaine. Group 3 (the control group) did not receive a local anesthetic. The short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire was used to measure pain quality and intensity. A numerical Visual Analogue Scale accompanied the questionnaire and measured overall pain intensity. Results showed that buffered lidocaine was statistically superior to EMLA cream or no anesthetic in relieving pain associated with PICC insertion.
