“Current Strategies for Vascular Access Stabilization: Infusion Nursing Standards of Practice”

Saxe Healthcare Communications* presents…“Current Strategies for Vascular Access Stabilization: Infusion Nursing Standards of Practice”

Stabilization of movement at the vascular access device (VAD) exit site is recognized as an important intervention in preventing complications and increasing catheter dwell time. The risk for unintentional catheter dislodgement is reduced, and when pistoning movement of the catheter at the site is minimized, the risk for phlebitis, infection, and catheter migration may also be reduced. While many HCPs may equate stabilization with application of a dressing and tape, the Infusion Nurses Society recommends use of an “engineered,” meaning specially designed, stabilization device or system. In this presentation, stabilization methods, new and novel devices, and current supporting evidence are explored.

Learning Objectives  |  Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

  1. Describe new and existing securement devices and methods of catheter stabilization.
  2. Identify the advantages of catheter stabilization.
  3. Identify appropriate methods for stabilization based upon patient characteristics.
  4. Evaluate research evidence supporting catheter stabilization.
