5 VAD Guideline Leads Pre-insertion & insertion *Vessel preservation - Tricia Kleidon (Qld) Device selection & insertion - Fiona Gillianders (NSW) Patient education vacant Competency & Documentation Nurse education & competency Leisa Brown (Qld) Legal issues & documentation - vacant Maintenance & Failure (mechanical & infective) *Dressings & securement - Sarah Northfield (Qld) Skin prep & integrity Sara Hurren (Qld) Occlusion & thrombosis - Fiona Fuller (Qld) Flushing & blood taking Renee McMullen (Qld) Infection - Peter Haywood (Vic) *ANTT & NC Julie Flynn (Qld) Surveillance of complications Emily Larsen (Qld)

6 Vessel preservation How frequently should peripheral venous catheters be replaced? How can nurses ensure the correct placement of peripheral venous catheters for chemotherapy administration? How many attempts should a clinician have before escalating peripheral venous catheters insertion?

7 Dressings & securement How often should dressings be changed on central venous access devices? Which dressings and securement devices are best for my patient with a central venous access device? Which dressings and securement devices are best for my patient with a peripheral venous catheter? What is the ideal dressing to minimise the risk of central venous access device-site infection? What are the factors that minimise the risk of central venous access device-site infections when changing dressings?

8 Which are the best dressing and securement devices are best for my patient with a central venous access device? Patient(s) Cancer patients with a CVAD (general) Cancer patients with a PICC Cancer patients with a tunnelled cuffed CVAD Intervention(s) & Control(s) Outcomes(s) Infection Mechanical CVAD dwell time Dressing integrity Skin integrity Site preparation 2% CHG versus povidone iodine versus ETOH Dressings Gauze & tape versus transparent dressings Stitching versus stat lock versus glue Transparent dressing & stat lock versus integrated dressing Transparent dressing versus transparent dressing & biopatch versus CHG dressing CHG versus AMD (PHMB) versus silver patches Frequency Daily versus weekly

9 Aseptic non touch technique & needless connectors How long do I need to scrub the hub for? How often should needleless connectors (and other extension tubing) be changed? What is the evidence supporting changing needleless catheter caps/bungs frequently? (I.e. post blood administration/blood tests/administration set change)

10 Which needless connector should I use? How long should I scrub the hub for? Patient(s) Cancer patients with a vascular access device (peripheral or central) Intervention(s) & Control(s) Neutral versus positive versus negative displacement values ETOH versus CHG for NC decontamination 5 second versus 15 second versus 30 second hub scrub Manual hub scrub versus passive decontamination Outcomes(s) Infection Mechanical CVAD dwell time
