[PMID: 35920678 DOI: 10.1111/nicc.12831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nursing checklists have been shown to improve communication, reduce the occurrence of adverse events, and promote safe, quality care in different care settings. However, to date, there is no validated patient care safety checklist for nurses caring for infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). AIM To describe development and content validation of the "Safe Nursing Care Checklist for Infants Hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit". STUDY DESIGN Online Survey. METHODS Based upon an integrative literature review, we developed a checklist focused on safe nursing care for infants in the NICU. Nursing experts participated in three rounds of a content validation process where they rated the items online. An agreement level ≥0.90 was required for inclusion in the checklist. Forty- three expert nurses with experience working in the NICU and who were certified in neonatal nursing or had a master's or doctoratal degree in child health provided content validation of the patient care checklist. RESULTS The final checklist contained 45 items with content validation index scores greater than 90%. The instrument was structured into six dimensions including patient identification, effective communication, medication safety, infection prevention, fall prevention, and pressure injuries/skin injuries prevention. CONCLUSION Content validity was established for the "Safe Nursing Care Checklist for Infants Hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit" which can identify strengths and weaknesses in safe nursing care for infants in the NICU as well as direct educational interventions to promote nursing care based on scientific evidence. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE This checklist can potentially be used by bedside nurses to promote provision of safe care to infants in the NICU and to guide corrective strategies and encourage evidence-based decision-making. Validation in the clinical setting is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) increases when preventive guidelines are not adhered to. However, studies have generally been quantitative and aimed at determining the effectiveness of CLABSI prevention bundles. Few studies have used a mixed-methods approach to investigate nursing professionals' knowledge and practices regarding CLABSI prevention. PURPOSE To determine nursing professionals' knowledge and practices regarding CLABSI prevention and identify facilitators and barriers to adherence to CLABSI prevention strategies in a Brazilian neonatal intensive care unit. METHODS A mixed-methods approach was used. Nursing professionals answered questionnaires regarding knowledge and practices surrounding CLABSI prevention. Semistructured interviews explored barriers nursing professionals face that hinder adherence to CLABSI preventive practices. FINDINGS Nursing professionals had moderate knowledge regarding CLABSI prevention practices. Daily assessment of the continued need for central venous lines (CVLs), hub disinfection before and after handling, and hand hygiene before handling CVLs were practices less adhered to. Interviews revealed barriers to adherence to preventive practices included lack of adequate equipment, resources for hand hygiene, and inadequate physical structure. Increased education and awareness of safe CVL practices and accountability of the entire healthcare team may improve adherence to CLABSI prevention practices. Results of this study reinforce the importance of considering current nursing practices when developing strategies to increase adherence to CLABSI prevention guidelines. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Providing continuing education may increase adherence to CLABSI prevention strategies. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH Research is needed to develop strategies aimed at increasing nursing adherence to CLABSI prevention strategies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple attempts during peripheral cannulation can have major consequences for patients, relatives, and healthcare professionals, therefore we set out to determine the extent of this problem in a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). OBJECTIVES The main aim was to describe peripheral venous catheter (PVC) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) cannulation in children in the PICU. Secondary objectives were to determine the success rate of the first cannulation attempt, to quantify patients with difficult venous access (DVA), and to explore the association between DVA and sociodemographic, technique and nursing-related characteristics. METHOD A cross-sectional descriptive study. Consecutive sampling was used to recruit patients aged 0-18 years admitted to the PICU who required peripheral venous cannulation. An ad hoc questionnaire was used for this purpose, including the presence of DVA as an independent variable. RESULTS A total of 163 venous cannulations were reported. A total of 55.8% (91) were performed in patients under 1 year of age. Of these, 38.7% (63) were successful on the first attempt and 36.8% (60) had DVA. When there was DVA, 85% (51) of patients had complications, median time to cannulation by short CVP was 30 minutes [15-53] and 2 or more nurses were required on 80% (48) of occasions. CONCLUSIONS We found a low success rate at first attempt and a high proportion of DVA. More nurses and time were employed during cannulation and complications increased if the patient had DVA. A statistically significant association was found between DVA and age, weight, poor perfusion, veins that were neither visible nor palpable, DIVA score ≥ 4, history of difficult intravenous access, complications, number of nurses and time spent.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a public health problem that harms patients' outcomes and healthcare costs, especially in susceptible populations such as patients with cancer. Overall, systematic queries about etiology, risks, and epidemiology are explained by data from observational studies, which better underline the relationship between factors and incidence of disease. However, no recent systematic reviews of observational studies on adult patients with cancer have been conducted on this topic, considering the wide range of all potential factors which can contribute to the increase in infection rate in the hospitalized adults with cancer. This study systematically reviewed observational studies investigating the occurrence rate of CLABSI and its risk factors for long-term inserted central catheter-related infections in hospitalized adult cancer patients. METHODS A systematic review was performed on four databases from the earliest available date until December 2020. Retrospective and prospective cohort studies focused on the occurrence rate of CLABSI and its risk factors in hospitalized adult cancer patients. The pooled occurrence rate of CLABSI (95% CI) was calculated by applying a random-effects model. RESULTS Of 1712 studies, 8 were eligible, and the data of device-related infection rate were meta-analyzed. The pooled occurrence rate of CLABSI was roughly 8% (95% CI [4%, 14%]). The device characteristics, device's management aspects, therapies administration, and select patients' clinical conditions represent the main risk factors for long-term catheter-related infection in cancer patients. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION Considering the substantial infection rate among cancer patients, identifying risk rate factors is pivotal to support evidence-grounded preventive strategies and maximize cancer patient safety. This study's results could guide policymakers and healthcare leaders and future research studies to disseminate appropriate risk-reducing management culture and implement standardized research and clinical approach to the investigated phenomenon as an infection surveillance strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The improper handling of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in newborns (NBs) may result in mechanical and infectious complications. AIM The aim of this systematic review (SR) is to estimate the prevalence of complications associated with the use of PICC in NBs. METHODS We will utilize PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Google Scholar for the databases search. There will be no restrictions on the search for languages, and observational studies will be selected wherein the prevalence rate of complications associated with the use of PICC in NBs has been presented or can be calculated. The systematic review will follow the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Two reviewers will independently select studies and assess their eligibility using predefined criteria. Using standardized forms, two other reviewers will independently extract data from each included study, and the random-effects pooled prevalence will be calculated in the meta-analysis with the respective 95% confidence intervals. The methodological quality of the studies will be assessed using the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Review Manager V.5.3.5 will be used for the qualitative and quantitative synthesis. A protocol was developed and published on PROSPERO (Registration number CRD42020211983). EXPECTED RESULTS This SR will show the prevalence of complications caused by the inadequate management of PICC in NBs, which is information considered important for clinical practice improvement.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives Nosocomial infections are a significant threat to the survival and neurodevelopment of neonates .The present study attempts to correlate enteral feeding practices as measured by nil per oral (NPO days) with bloodstream infection (BSI) rates and central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) over a period of 2 years and 3 months.
Methods This was a prospective observational study done in a tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Data were recorded on the presence of central lines or peripheral intravenous (IV) lines, receipt of intravenous fluids (IVF), total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or IV antibiotics, and mechanical ventilation status. BSI and CLABSI, regarded as sentinel events, were recorded and root cause analysis done.
Results A total of 3,448 infants constituting 17,846 patient days with mean gestational age and birth weight of 34.3 ± 3 weeks and 1,868 ± 434 g, respectively were studied. NPO per 1,000 days shows a significant positive correlation with BSI (ρ = 0.513; p = 0.004), CLABSI (ρ = 0.425; p = 0.021), antibiotic days (ρ = 0.7; p < 0.000), IV fluid days (ρ = 0.459; p = 0.014), and central line days (ρ = 0.634; p < 0.001). The IV fluid days showed correlation with BSI (ρ = 0.4, p ≤ 0.03) and CLABSI (ρ = 0.43, p = 0.02).
Conclusion BSI in NICU correlates with higher NPO and IV fluid days. Strengthening of enteral feeding practices reduces health care-associated infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify independent risk factors to develop a central line- associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in critically ill neonates with major underlying diseases. METHODS A nested case-control study was conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Patients with a central venous catheter (CVC) were included. Cases were neonates who developed a CLABSI and controls were patients without CLABSI. Variables included: perinatal history, characteristics of the catheter, installation and catheter use, surgical interventions, and hospital stay. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. X2, Fisher exact, and Mann-Whitney U tests were used when appropriate. Variables with a p value ≤0.10 in the univariate analysis were introduced in a non-conditional logistic regression model. RESULTS Seventy four cases and 105 controls were analyzed. Univariate risk factors were: any surgery, abdominal surgery, length of hospitalization (≥14 d), double-lumen CVC, surgical cut-down technique, complications, CVC placement in internal jugular vein, dressing type, blood transfusions, parenteral nutrition, and number of CVC manipulations (>200). In the logistic regression analysis, independent risk factors with a p value <0.05 were: double-lumen catheter (OR 5.8, 95% CI 1.2-30), length of hospitalization ≥14 d (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.8-11.4), abdominal surgery (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-6.2) and blood transfusions (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.2-5.3). CONCLUSIONS One risk factor was related to the catheter itself. Management of underlying diseases in specialized NICU contributes to a greater extent to the development of a central line-associated bloodstream infection.
