Establishing a plan to improve pediatric patient comfort during PIV insertions and blood specimen collection: a quality improvement effort
CONCLUSIONS: While standard comfort measures are a good first step in pain management during needle procedures, they are not sufficient for every pediatric patient. Nitrous, sedation, and the use of anxiolytics and analgesics can play an important role in reducing pain and anxiety during needle procedures and should be considered for patients not achieving adequate levels of comfort with standard comfort measures.PMID:38578933 | DOI:10.12968/bjon.2024.33.7.S36 (Source: British Journal of Nursing)

Using a LOng peripheral intraVEnous catheter with retractable guidewire to optimize first-insertion success for patients with Difficult IntraVenous Access in the emergency department (LOVE-DIVA): a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Br J Nurs. 2024 Apr 4;33(7):S28-S34. doi: 10.12968/bjon.2024.33.7.S28.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: First-insertion success rates for peripheral vascular access devices (PVADs) in patients with difficult venous access (DIVA) are low, which negatively affects staff workload, patient experience, and organizational cost. There is mixed evidence regarding the impact of a peripheral vascular access device with retractable coiled tip guidewire (GW; AccuCath™, BD) on the first-insertion success rate. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of long GW-PVADs, compared with standard PVADs, reduces the risk of first-time in...
