Hoy veremos el video: Paradigm Shift: New Approaches for Vascular Catheter Infection Prevention and Harm Reduction
All vascular access device (VAD) insertion begins with a skin puncture or a surgical wound. In addition, skin injury can be associated with antiseptics, medical adhesive devices or sutures. The VAD requires adequate securement and protection to avoid infection, dislodgement and injury to blood vessels. This presentation reviews infection-prevention technologies and the growing body of evidence relating to tissue adhesive’s impact on VAD securement and infection prevention.
Objectives
1. Define hospital-acquired conditions, hospital-onset bacteremia and fungemia associated with vascular access catheters.
2. Analyze vascular access infection-prevention technologies and mechanisms of action.
