2 PAGE 2 OF PURPOSE 1.1 To provide central vascular access when a peripheral site cannot be accessed or is contraindicated. 1.2 To provide an access site for the administration of: TPN Central Vein Solutions large volumes of crystalloid or viscous fluids simultaneous infusion of incompatible drugs blood and blood components measure right sided heart filling emergency venous access 1.3 To provide an access site for: central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring pulmonary artery catheter myocardial biopsy venous blood sampling 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 2.1 Short term use central venous catheters are inserted by the physician or Nurse Practitioner (NP) at the bedside or in O.R. 2.2 A consent is required prior to insertion of the central venous catheter. 2.3 Single and multiple lumen catheters are available.
3 PAGE 3 OF The recommended use of Arrow (brand) multi-lumen catheter ports is shown below (Diagram 1) Proximal lumen (18 g) (white): general access (i.e. intermittent or continuous infusions of medications or IV solutions) blood sampling (when peripheral venipuncture is not possible) blood administration Middle lumen (18 g) (blue): TPN saline lock if TPN is anticipated general access if TPN is not anticipated Distal lumen (16 g) (brown): CVP monitoring blood and blood components general access for high volume or viscous fluids, colloids 2.5 Maximum/full barrier precautions will be used during catheter insertion. 2.6 Strict aseptic technique 1 is required for administration set changes, dressing changes, and intermittent injection cap changes. Hands are to be cleansed with alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water prior to saline/heparin locking, handling administration sets, etc. Sterile gloves must be worn for dressing changes. 1 Aseptic technique for CVC dressing changes: use sterile gloves, dressing trays and no touch technique.
4 PAGE 4 OF To maintain a closed system attach an injection cap (e.g. split septum) to lumen ends. Attach administration sets to the injection cap. 2.8 The most common insertion site is the subclavian vein. Alternate acceptable site internal jugular. See Diagrams 2 and 3. Catheter tip usually terminates in superior vena cava. 2.9 Femoral sites are occasionally used, but have an increased risk of complications (eg. infection and thrombosis). Do not ambulate patients with femoral catheters due to increased risk of dislodgement and catheter related deep vein thrombosis Remove Femoral catheters as soon as possible or replace with other IV access as appropriate to patient condition All short term CVC s require daily review by admitting physician/ designate/np of line necessity, with prompt removal of unnecessary lines. CVC s placed in emergency situations and/or without full barrier precautions are to be re-sited as soon as the situation becomes stable and within 48 hours.
5 PAGE 5 OF 18 3.O EQUIPMENT central venous catheter (check with physician/ NP regarding size and type) IV solution as ordered IV administration set injection caps, 1 per lumen 10 ml prefilled saline/ heparinized saline syringes IV pole infusion pump cutdown tray sterile 2% chlorhexidine gluconate with 70% isopropyl alcohol swabsticks suture material (check with physician)/ Statlock securement device lidocaine 1% (check: with or without epinephrine) 2-10 ml syringe with 2 - #18 and 2 - #23 g needles syringes and needles - used for administering local anesthetic transparent dressing 10 cm x 12 cm clippers for removing hair at insertion site Maximum/full Barrier Precautions Equipment sterile full body drape with small opening for site of insertion surgical masks (with shield) for person inserting CVC and assisting individual OR hat/ cap for person inserting and assistant sterile gloves and gowns for person inserting CVC isolation gown for assistant 4.O PROCEDURE 4.1 Assisting with CVC Insertion Both the person inserting the CVC (inserter) and the person assisting (assistant) clean hands with alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water Assembles the equipment Clip any hair which may be present at and around insertion site. Note:, do not shave as this causes micro-abrasions and is a site of infection Place patient in the supine position. Trendelenburg position may be required. For subclavian access, place a rolled up towel between the shoulder blades (no pillow at head) Open the sterile packages as requested by inserter.
6 PAGE 6 OF Assistant helps the inserter into sterile gown, withdrawal of local anaesthetic and opening of pre-procedure skin prep as requested by person inserting. The person inserting the CVC will remove manufacturer s injection caps and replace with needleless (interlink) injection caps. Catheter lumens are flushed with preservative-free saline prior to insertion using aseptic technique. The CVC is inserted Once access is established and verified by blood return, saline lock the lumen(s). NURSING ALERT: Do NOT infuse medication or TPN into any lumen until catheter placement is confirmed by x-ray Apply gauze dressing if bleeding occurs at insertion site. The gauze may be replaced with a transparent dressing (10 cm x 12 cm) when bleeding stops. Change initial dressing 24 hours after insertion. Label dressing with date The inserter will either suture or use a stabilizing device to secure the catheter to the skin. Secure the catheter extension to patient s skin with tape / StatLock device to avoid tension on the catheter Arrange for a portable chest x-ray (ordered by physician or NP). CVC tip position (superior / inferior vena cava) must be verified by physician/ NP to ensure correct placement prior to infusing medications or TPN Observe patient for signs and symptoms of pneumothorax, arterial puncture, and pericardial tamponade (see 7.0 for complications). 4.2 Maintaining the Catheter Cleanse hands with alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water prior to dressing changes, accessing line, accessing caps and stopcocks, tubing changes or manipulations. Use strict aseptic technique Infuse all solutions, blood products, and medications via administration sets with luer lock connections. NURSING ALERT: All administration sets, extension tubing, or intermittent injection caps attached to central lines must have leur lock connections.
7 PAGE 7 OF To attach administration set directly to catheter hub, extension tubing or change injection cap, place the patient supine, clamp the lumen (with slide clamp located on lumen pigtail), cleanse connection with 2% chlorhexidine 70% alcohol swab and ask patient to perform Valsalva Manoeuvre. Make the connection as the patient holds his/her breath or during exhalation. Use Interlink leur adapter to connect tubing set to cap. NURSING ALERT: NEVER use a toothed clamp on the central venous catheter It is recommended that an infusion pump is used to infuse medications/iv solutions Use Interlink Injection cap. Always cleanse the injection cap with 2% chlorhexidine 70% alcohol and let dry prior to each and every time the injection cap is accessed. Ensure catheter patency by using a syringe to withdraw and observe for blood return, then flushing. The catheter should flush without resistance or leaking from insertion site. Flush with preservative free saline for injection to clear the line. When flushing and/or locking, use Positive Pulsing Pressure by giving short jerky pushes on plunger Frequency of flushing: 20 ml saline flush After blood sampling. Before and after blood component administration 10 ml saline flush When converting from continuous to intermittent therapies Before and after intermittent medication therapy For maintenance of dormant CVC s Maintain each unused lumen by locking with 5 ml of heparin lock solution (10 units/ml) or, if not available, 3 ml heparin lock solution (100 units/ml) q24h or as ordered. Guidelines for locking: The volume should be at least twice the volume capacity of the catheter lumen plus the priming volume of all addon devices (eg. extension tubing)
8 PAGE 8 OF To maintain the patency of catheters locked between medications follow SASH: o Saline to assess catheter patency o Administration of medication o Saline to flush medication out of catheter o Heparin Lock to maintain patency between medication Clamp before removing blunt cannula from injection cap. Clamp the catheter when not in use with the slide clamp provided. Vary position of slide clamp along lumen to prevent wearing of catheter lumen Platelet count monitoring is recommended for post-op patients every 2-3 days from day 4-14, or until therapy with heparin is stopped. NURSING ALERTs: Always use a 10 ml syringe/large barrel syringe for flushing as it has a lower pressure rating. Smaller syringes have greater pressures and may rupture catheter Refer to P/P #, Maintenance of I.V./Hypodermoclysis Equipment for change times Observe the catheter and insertion site for: swelling redness tenderness drainage dislodgement / malposition or advancement of catheter loose sutures Report any of the above to the physician, NP or designee.
9 PAGE 9 OF 18 NURSING ALERT: If IV solution does not readily infuse or lumen cannot be locked without meeting resistance, DO NOT apply force in attempt to free catheter of clot that may have formed. Apply a piece of tape to lumen indicating not to use the lumen and record date on tape. Document on chart and kardex. Notify physician and/or NP or designee to consider restoring patency to occluded lumen. 4.3 Maintaining the Dressing Change the transparent dressing q6 days and prn if it is wet, soiled or no longer occlusive Cleanse hands with alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water Apply protective gloves. Remove dressing by stretching the dressing outward to lift and separate it from the skin. Hold the central catheter hub firmly when removing the dressing from the catheter to prevent dislodging it from the vein. If applicable, remove catheter from catheter securement device (eg. StatLock) and remove catheter securement device with alcohol. Remove protective gloves Apply sterile gloves. Cleanse catheter with sterile 2% chlorhexidine 70% alcohol swabstick in a back and forth motion, cleansing the entire area that will be covered by the dressing. Repeat. Using a second swab cleanse the catheter and the catheter hub. If applicable apply skin prep and replace catheter securement device. Allow all solutions to dry thoroughly.
10 PAGE 10 OF Apply transparent dressing. With ballpoint ink pen indicate date on strip provided with dressing Observe insertion site and catheter length every eight hours or prn. 4.4 Removal of Catheter RN s may not remove a central venous catheter that penetrates a heart valve Catheters to be removed by physician / NP or RN staff educated in CVC removal. Each patient care area shall identify how often education shall be repeated / competency in CVC removal validated, dependent on the frequency the skill is performed, and the patient population in the area. In non-critical care area, RN s identified by the Unit Supervisor or Patient Care Manager may be certified to remove non-tunnelled central venous catheters for femoral, subclavian or jugular sites. o Unit Supervisor/Patient Care manager shall keep of list of staff who have been identified to remove CVCs and who have demonstrated competency. The staff member shall be given written documentation that they are allowed to perform this task.
11 PAGE 11 OF An order is required to remove a short term CVC. Check platelet count. Check PT/INR if on anticoagulants. Platelet count less than 50 and prolonged clotting time increase the risk of bleeding. In these cases, consult the physician/np before removal of CVC. Ensure all IV medications/ solutions are discontinued by the prescriber, or that alternate IV access has been established Explain procedure to patient. Remove the sutures. Cleanse site with 2% chlorhexidine 70% alcohol swab and allow to dry thoroughly Position the patient Trendelenburg if respiratory status allows, if not use the supine position. Ask the patient to perform the Valsalva manoeuvre if able to co-operate and slowly with draw the CVC. If unable to perform Valsalva, withdraw catheter as the patient holds his/her breath or on exhalation. Stop if resistance is encountered, and advise prescriber Using a sterile gauze, apply manual pressure to the catheter site for a minimum of five minutes or until haemostasis is achieved. Have patient perform valsalva manoeuvre, hold breath, or exhale when gauze removed to assess site for bleeding Apply airtight/occlusive dressing. The dressing should remain in place for 72 hours Examples of occlusive dressings are: petroleum impregnated gauze and transparent dressing. Gauze and DuoDERM Extra thin Restore Plus Hydrocolloid Dressing Antibacterial ointment, gauze and transparent dressing. Note: Gauze and transparent dressing alone is not airtight. Gauze and Microfoam Surgical Tape Bed rest should be maintained for minutes If catheter related blood stream infection is suspected, using aseptic technique cut the catheter tip and place in a sterile specimen container. Label with patient name and send to the lab for culture and sensitivity.
12 PAGE 12 OF Observe the patient for signs and symptoms of air embolism (sudden onset of chest pain, dyspnea, unequal breath sounds, decreased O 2 saturations, cyanosis, hypotension, weak pulse, decreased LOC, churning murmur over precordium). 5.0 PATIENT TEACHING 5.1 Insertion of Catheter Sterile drapes will cover the entire body and face during catheter insertion A burning sensation will be felt as local anaesthetic infiltrates tissue. (Patient discomfort can be minimized with the use of buffered lidocaine.) A pressure sensation will accompany catheter insertion. 5.2 To prevent air embolism, perform the Valsalva Manoeuvre for: catheter insertion administration set change / positive pressure valve change catheter removal 5.3 Report any of the following symptoms: pain/tenderness or swelling at site, neck or shoulder unexplained shortness of breath, coughing chest pain, palpitations fever tingling finger or shooting pain down arm ear pain or gurgling in ear
