Re-siting peripheral venous catheters: have you ditched the routine?

CochraneUK have recently released a new blogging series “Evidence for Everyday Nursing” #EEnursing, and one of their first articles in this series looks at a Cochrane review which found no evidence to support routinely re-siting peripheral venous catheters. A link to the blog can be found here - and is a must read before this #WeNurses discussion. 

This WeNurses discussion will be exploring this blog and the questions it asks around the Cochrane review.  In collaboration with @UKCochraneCentr #WeNurses will be discussing the following questions:

  • What do you do when it comes to managing peripheral venous catheters (PVCs)? 
  • Do you change PVCs routinely or only when there are clinical signs that this is necessary?
  • Whatare your thoughts on the evidence presented in the Cochrane Review?
  • Doyou feel you should stop routine changing of PVCs?
  • Doyou feel that this is something that you could bring to your practice area?
  • Will you personally change your practice in light of this evidence?

For this discussion we will be joined by Sarah Chapman:

 Chat Summary

 

Who joined the chat?

We had 63 contributers to the chat, sharing over 400 tweets, the majority nurses from different specialties and nursing students. It was great that we were also joined by a radiographer, giving us a view from another area of practice, and by Professors of Nursing Claire Rickard and Joan Webster, authors of the Cochrane review. Most were in the UK but we had contributions from Australia too, where Joan is Nursing Director for Research in at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and Claire leads the AVATAR (Alliance for Vascular Access Teaching And Research) Group. The word cloud at the top was generated by the chat.

What determined routine PVC replacement policies?

Claire Rickard told us that routine re-siting of PVCs was changed from 24 to 48 hours in the 1980s, based on expert opinion only, and that the Centers for Disease Control changed its recommendation from 48 hourly to every 72-96 hours in the 1990s, based on cohort studies with 2500 people. There are data from many more patients in randomized controlled trials of clinically indicated replacement. Epic3 guidelines are clear that clinically-indicated is the way to go but Claire said many guidelines have not been updated since new evidence came out.

Routine replacement still dominates

Many said that their local policy is to change them at 72 hours. There were some caveats. One said that it could be left longer if access is particularly difficult; another that replacement at 72 hours is usual and that although review to see if the PVC can remain in place is encouraged this doesn’t tend to happen. Adult nursing student Darren said “my placement area tend to change them after 4 days, regardless of need”. Another student, Lee, reported that changing at 72 hours was the norm in his placements, “unless difficult access, then monitor and record”. We were all horrified to hear that in one place the routine replacement policy has been retained ‘so junior doctors can get enough practice!’

But clinical indicators are the drivers for some

Micahel told us that “in the community a pragmatic approach is often adopted using VIP scale”. One contributor expressed concern about the accuracy of recording of VIP (Validated Infusion Phlebitis) scores and another cited this as one of the reasons for impending policy change, but this system was mentioned by several. “All care workers should know signs that should be reported”, commented Anne-Marie.


In paediatrics, re-siting when clinically indicated seems to be the norm and the idea of doing unnecessary procedures rightly regarded as unacceptable. As Claire asked, “why is that seen as safe but not in adults?”Radiographer Janice said she changes the PVC if she is unhappy with it, irrespective of time in situ, noting that some CT exams require high flow rates and that that they have to be mindful of IV contrast extravasation. Her practice is to flush with saline after the exam and check with the ward if the cannula can be left in. “As a cannulating radiographer it is a priority that I work with my nursing colleagues to ensure best practice”.

Could it lead to complacency, one asked? Someone else thought it could, but this would be outweighed when balanced against the risks, and could be mitigated by training. The UK-based venepuncture and cannulation training folk, @vipvctraining, said their teaching is firmly based on the guidelines and they advocate replacing when clinically indicated.

According to Joan Webster, it’s “pretty simple really; if the site is red, swollen etc, take the device out. This may be after 10 hours or ten days …”

How long could a PVC remain in situ?

Claire says they are licensed by regulatory authorities for 30 days use and that she has used them for around 20 days. She also notes that most fail by 72 hours. “If they make it to 72 hours, let’s not ruin it!”

What about the patient?

Happily, there was plenty of discussion about consideration for the patient. Several pointed out that it’s important not to site, or re-site, PVCs unless there is a clinical need to do so, and to remove them as soon as no longer required. Comments included that they are painful, that anaesthetic creams can be ineffective and that cannulation skills are variable. Joan Webster said that returning patients who have taken part in their trials now refuse to have their PVCs changed routinely! We liked this! “Patient power! No routine replacement thank you very much!” Patients and carers, it was noted, can be powerful advocates in achieving the implementation of evidence.

The argument should be over

We have good evidence that replacing PVCs when clinically-indicated does not put patients at increased risk of complications of IV therapy and and saves money. So are there any reasons NOT to do this? “Wouldn’t that be poor practice?” asked Charlotte. It seems that there are obstacles to change.

Sometimes tradition trumps evidence…

Kaye said that their policy (in New South Wales) is to replace routinely at 72 hours because blood stream infection (BSI) is a concern. Yet the evidence doesn’t support this. Cochrane author Claire noted that there were half the BSIs in clinically indicated PVCs and that we don’t know whether making holes in skin 72 hourly causes BSI.  Craig thinks that re-siting PVCs ‘just in case’ puts patients at risk.

It seems that culture is an obstacle to change here, with Kaye noting that “their argument is that translation into practice is difficult”.  Depressingly, when asked if this is just a triumph of tradition/culture/habit over evidence, Kaye says “Absolutely! It has always won!” “The weight of tradition and experience of BSI outweighs the evidence for clinical replacement.”

Trusts not trusting?

While Trust policy should be evidence-based, it isn’t always. Several people thought Trusts would be reluctant to change their policies, despite the weight of evidence. Might there be concerns about accusations of neglect? Policies, it’s felt, are not easy to change and it was suggested that it would take a brave Trust to change their policy. Why should this be so, when all the evidence is in favour of clinically-indicated replacement? It was good to hear news of one Trust that has just done this, resulting in “30% less cannula insertions and no increase in VIP scores”.

Evidence into action: what will you do now?

There was a strong sense that the evidence necessitated action where practice isn’t following it, with talk of  professional responsibility to raise concerns and to challenge current practice that has been shown not to be based on the best available evidence. It was agreed that staff are bound by policy but that policy should be challenged. Several people finished the chat determined to take action. Here are some of the intentions and suggestions:

  • “Print off the epic3 Guidelines and take them to the Trust to help argue the case”
  • “If you want to take something away, you have to give something in return. Implement a new PVC removal daily checklist”
  • “If policy doesn’t follow best evidence then identify gatekeepers to change if unsure. Be the patients’ advocate always”
  • “Evidence must be disseminated to IPC teams and policy revisited”
  • “Key to PVC insertion and care is training, education and good audit cycle. So infection control and IVTeams can play a part”
  • “Will share the chat summary with future radiographer @SCoRMembers cannulation course delegates”
  • “I will be bringing this up with the ward sister in the morning!”
  • “EBP must inform Trust policy – so time for a review of it, conversations start tomorrow!”

These last two came from nursing student Darren and from Craig, an Infection Prevention Nurse, and they were as good as their word. Darren was told by the ward sister that “she likes them out after three days” and when Darren told her about the evidence she said replacing after 72 hours is Trust policy. Other nurses there said this policy had been implemented as a knee-jerk reaction to an incident, instead of improving checking of PVCs. Darren is now going to contact infection control about this. Great news Darren and do go clutching epic3! Craig tweeted an update too: “we are on it and will be making change soon based on the latest evidence: tweetchat to action.” Fantastic!

Do share what you’re doing

It would be wonderful to hear what other people have done since reading and discussing the evidence. Have you shared it with colleagues or done something towards changing practice where it doesn’t follow this evidence? Do tell us about it here in the comments section. You can also join in the conversation on Twitter with me @SarahChapman30 and @ukcochranecentr, and of course @WeNurses. If you can, use our series hashtag #EENursing as well as #WeNurses.

Another tweetchat?

Thank you everyone for what was an incredibly interesting tweetchat. At the end, Nick Chinn @NRCUK, who had been lurking from #WeNurses HQ, asked “how often is policy driven by best quality care? Are other factors important to them?” while Teresa @AgencyNurse wanted to know “how empowered/supported do clinicians feel to be able to challenge policy?” Interesting questions for another tweetchat surely, and perhaps we can also come back in six months to find out if there have been changes in PVC replacement policy.

If you want to take something away, you have to give something in return. Implement a new #PVC removal daily checklist #wenurses

@NattrassSusan #WeNurses Interesting question. Policy developers in hospitals often don't understand the evidence. Check their references!!

If policy doesn't follow best evidence then identify gatekeepers to change if unsure. Be the patients advocate always #wenurses
