Learning Objectives
✓ Verbalize, after literature review, the reasons why PIV failure is over 50% in the USA with a focus on infiltrations and occlusions
✓ Describe the peripheral bundle with the 5 RIGHTS that were utilized for this randomized controlled study to achieve successful outcomes
✓ Demonstrate how the results of this study can be utilized to establish a business model for the value of the IV team
n America Peripheral IV Catheter Failure rates average 53%
There are 347.4 million Peripheral IV Catheters sold each year in the U.S. with 39.3 million patient admissions - There is a lack of awareness of the high failure rate and associated cost of PIVCs - Today there is no data analytics, no reliable event tracking or no reliable patient management systems of PIVCs, PICCc & CVCs - Hospital leadership is unaware to the level of patient dissatisfaction, waste and overall cost per bed associated with PIVC complications - We know what causes them to fail → occlusion, infiltration, extravastion, infection and inadvertent removal → these unintended PIVC complications interrupt IV treatment and require reinsertion of another catheter in another vein.
