Entity: Fairview Pharmacy Services Department: Fairview Home Infusion Manual: Policy and Procedure Manual Category: Home Infusion Subject: Access Device Management, General Policies Department Policy Code: D: PC-5100 Purpose: Fairview Home Infusion qualified staff will be knowledgeable in Access Device Management. Definition: Access Devices refer to a large variety of manufactured devices that can be inserted percutaneously or surgically and are designed to allow for the local or systemic treatment of illnesses via the venous, arterial, enteral, intracavitary, intraspinal and subcutaneous routes. Policy: The following policies address common guidelines to be used for care of many of the access devices. Refer to Attachment I and device specific policies and procedures for additional information. I. Written physician orders for initiation, care and management of the access device shall be documented on the Plan of Care and include: A. Type of device including the name and number of lumens. B. Use of an anesthetic (e.g. Emla or Lidocaine) for insertion of percutaneous catheters, if appropriate and indicated. C. Concentration, amount and frequency of heparin flushing solution, if applicable. D. Amount and frequency of saline flushing solution, if applicable. E. Type and frequency of site care. F. Whether or not the access device may be used for blood drawing, if applicable. G. Whether or not the access device may be repaired, if Page 1 of 19
2 applicable. II. Following receipt of a physician s order, a nurse deemed competent may: A. Remove a non-tunneled central venous catheter. B. Remove catheter sutures (excluding PICC s) C. Insert a different catheter type. D. Insert a catheter, following Nurse Practice Guidelines. E. Perform a catheter repair following manufacturer instructions. F. Perform a catheter exchange for Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC). III. General guidelines for protection of all catheter types include: A. Never use scissors near a catheter. B. If a needle is used to access the injection cap, never use one longer than 1 to avoid puncturing the catheter. C. Routine clamping of a CVC is necessary when not in use. If the clamp is not part of the catheter, use a smooth-edged clamp over a piece of tape placed on the catheter. Damage may occur if a clamp with teeth is applied to the catheter. EXCEPTION: The Groshong catheter should not be clamped unless the integrity of the valve has been comprised or a catheter repair is being performed. (A clamp must always be available). D. Avoid using acetone solutions or iodine tinctures which can cause silicone to dry and crack. E. 5. When drawing blood from a multi-lumen catheter, the distal lumen should be used. IV. As part of patient/caregiver education, the nurse shall instruct the patient/caregiver in appropriate access device management including catheter site care, injection cap change, flushing and signs/symptoms and management of infected, displaced, damaged or obstructed catheter/port/feeding tube.
3 V. A needleless system shall be utilized in administering all intravenous therapies. VI. All connections in the intravenous system (catheter and tubing) shall be luer lock. VII. Catheter occlusions will be cleared to restore patency with a physician order and protocols with clinical evidence to support the procedure. Procedure: I. Central Venous Catheters Central venous catheters (CVC) are either surgically or percutaneously placed and are catheters whose distal tip is located in the superior vena cava or high right atrium. Veins most appropriate for central venous access are the internal jugular and subclavian veins. When the femoral ein is used for central venous access, correct tip location is the inferior vena cava. A. Non-Tunneled or Percutaneous Short-term percutaneous CVCs inserted directly into the selected vein based on anatomical landmarks. The veins typically used to gain access to the central venous system are the jugular veins and the subclavian vein. 1. Polyurethane is the most commonly used material. 2. Intended for days to several weeks of IV access. 3. Multiple lumen features. 4. In-room or outpatient insertion procedure. 5. For short-term use only. 6. Requires routine sterile dressing changes. 7. Patient self-care difficult due to chest insertion site. B. Tunneled Catheter a catheter designed to have a portion lie within a subcutaneous passage before exiting the body. Tunneled catheters have a Dacron cuff attached, which after insertion, is located within the subcutaneous tunnel. Central venous access with the tunneled catheter is usually accomplished by a percutaneous approach using a Seldinger (over-the-guide wire) technique into the subclavian or internal jugular veins. The point at which the catheter exits the body (exit site) is considerable distance from the actual venous insertion site, thus making it more difficult for microorganisms to reach the venous system. Both tunnel
4 length and proper location of the cuff are important to prevent catheter dislodgment. Exit site sutures placed post insertion to prevent dislodgment of catheter allowing for the Dacron cuff to adhere. Sutures can be removed after 10 days with physicians order. 1. Silastic is most commonly used material. 2. Intended for long-term intermittent, continuous, or daily IV access. 3. The optimal time interval for removal of a central venous catheter is unknown; ongoing and frequent monitoring of site should be performed and documented. 4. May be single or multiple lumen. 5. Sterile dressing changes every seven (7) days and PRN. 6. May be open ended or valved (Groshong). 7. Placement can be done as outpatient surgical procedure. C. Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC Lines) Catheters inserted into the cephalic or basilic vein in the antecubital fossa. The tip is located in the superior vena cava at the juncture of the right atrium. X-ray verification is needed to verify placement. 1. Intended for long-term intermittent, continuous, or daily IV access. 2. The optimal time interval for removal of a peripherally inserted central catheter is unknown; ongoing and frequent monitoring of site should be performed and documented. 3. May be single of multiple lumen. 4. Sterile dressing changes every seven (7) days and PRN. 5. May be open ended or valved (Groshong). 6. Single lumen Groshong PICC can be repaired externally.
5 7. Placement can be done as outpatient surgical procedure. II. Implanted Ports A totally implanted system consisting of a reservoir which is made of plastic, titanium or stainless steel well with self-sealing silicone septum attached to a radiopaque catheter made of silicone or polyurethane. It is not visible, since the reservoir is implanted as a sterile procedure by a surgeon under the skin in the subcutaneous fascia. May be placed in an artery, epidural/intrathecal space, intrapleural or peritoneal space. P.A.S. Port: - Implanted vascular access device placed in forearm and catheter threaded into the cephalic or basilica vein in the antecubital fossa. The tip is located in the superior vena cava. III. Midline Catheters Catheters placed in the antecubital fossa and threaded 6-8 inches, whose tip remains in the upper arm, not extending past the axilla. Not a central venous catheter. IV therapy administered in this catheter must meet peripheral IV therapy criteria. Therapeutic use 2-4 weeks. IV. Peripheral Venous Catheters or Steel Needles Catheters or needles used to access peripheral veins. Visual length is ¾ - 2 inches. A. Placed for short-term therapy (usually less than seven (7) days. B. Peripheral catheters should not be routinely used for blood draws. C. Site must be changed every hours. V. Subcutaneous Catheters or Needles Devices used for infusion of opioids, deferoxamine, heparin, or hormonal therapy gauge catheters or needles are changed every three (3) days. VI. Intraspinal Catheters/Ports (Epidural or Intrathecal) Device which is usually tunneled through the subcutaneous tissue and whose catheter tip resides in the epidural or intrathecal space. VII. Enteral Access Devices Feeding tubes which are either nasogastric (NG) or nasointestinal (NI) for short-term use and gastrostomy or jejunostomy tubes placed for long-term feedings.
6 Site Care and Dressing Change Dressings shall be changed at established intervals, immediately upon suspected contamination, or when integrity of dressing is compromised. Gauze dressings shall be changed every 48 hours on peripheral and central catheters. Transparent semi-permeable membrane dressings shall be changed at the time of access site rotation or every three (3) to seven (7) days, whichever comes first. BioPatch disk will be used with each dressing change for all patients 2 months of age or older with central IV catheters (excludes implanted ports). Prior to Beginning Procedure A. Wash hands. B. Assemble equipment. C. Don sterile gloves and other PPE. D. Use aseptic technique and observe Standard Precautions throughout procedure. Site Care and Dressing Change A.
