Introducing an ultrasound-guided longer length peripheral IV catheter for patients with difficult venous access
CONCLUSIONS: First-stick success rate of LPIVCs, aided by improved purchase in the vein and visualisation with ultrasound guidance, was very high, superior to rates reported in other studies. The procedure provides a better patient experience as successful first attempts avoid unnecessary further insertion attempts. Other benefits are increased nursing time efficiency, a reduction in clinical waste and the lower cost of the equipment required.PMID:38700139 | DOI:10.12968/bjon.2024.33.7.S4 (Source: British Journal of Nursing)

Pets, obesity and nurses: surgical site infections in the community
Br J Community Nurs. 2024 May 2;29(5):248-250. doi: 10.12968/bjcn.2024.29.5.248.ABSTRACTMany surgical site infections (SSI) emerge after the patient is discharged from hospital. So, practice and district nurses should remain alert for SSIs and address modifiable risk factors, which include helping obese patients lose weight, optimising glucose control in people with diabetes and encouraging smoking cessation. Animals, including pets, are important reservoirs of resistant bacteria. By optimising SSI care, nurses can not only improve wound healing but also help preserve antibiotic efficacy.PMID:38701010 | DOI:10.12968/bjcn.2...
