Event Description
Patient required iv access upon admission.Using the new smiths medical jelco viavalve safety iv catheters, it took four nurses and six attempts to successfully obtain iv access.Because it took so many attempts, the golden hour was not met and there was a delay in starting iv fluids and administering medications.These new iv catheters are extremely difficult to use, often requiring two sets of hands to remove the catheter from the needle and attach the t-connector.Even if the iv catheter is inserted into the vein correctly, it is difficult to keep the catheter stable enough to remove it from the needle without losing access.Learning specialist met with cns (clinical nurse specialist) and company to discuss issues with current iv catheters.
