Mark your calendars!
Welcome to the October issue of Vascular Access!
As I write this, I'm getting ready to head off to the Association of Vascular Access Annual Scientific Meeting in Columbus Ohio to present the preliminary results of my postdoctoral research, an interrupted time-series evaluation of an IV assessment and decision tool called I-DECIDED. (More to come on that!)

NURSES and midwives play a central role in the care and maintenance of central lines. But despite all efforts, sometimes central-line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) do occur.
These infections may be devastating for patients in terms of morbidity and mortality.
For example, in the United States, CLABSIs result in thousands of deaths each year and cost health care systems billions of dollars (CDC, 2016).

Based on an observational study of peripheral intravenous catheter outcomes in adult hospitalised patients a multivariable analysis of peripheral intravenous catheter failure, Journal of Hospital Medicine (published online October 2017).
Marsh, N., Webster, J., Larsen, E., Cooke, M., Mihala, G. & Rickard C.M.
Nurses can expect to care for patients with a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) on a daily basis.
Of significant concern however is that up to 69% of PIV may fail...

Background
A central venous catheter (CVC) is a long, thin, flexible tube which is inserted into a large central vein. This enables access to the blood stream for people with serious medical conditions to receive medications and fluids, as well as the collection of blood specimens. Long term central venous catheters are used to access the blood system in children with complex medical conditions like cancer. To stop the catheter from becoming blocked it is usual to use heparin, a drug that...
