Midline Catheters: An Essential Tool in CLABSI Reduction 2013 |
Decreasing Central-Line Associated Bloodstream Infection in Neonatal Intensive Care 2010 |
| Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative), and Purposes/Aim of Study | The key question to check midline vein catheters is fitting in place of central-line vein catheters that reduced the central-line catheters on ventilators | Contamination avoidance and device specialists from the Asia Pacific expanse to generate the idea for central-line related bloodstream contaminations | Its key objective to decrease the CLABSI and to check the cost associated with this | It defines the approaches to decrease the CLABSI in the newly born intensive care unit on the basis of the certain evidence |
| Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative) | Quantitative design | Qualitative design | Quantitative design | Qualitative design |
| Setting/Sample | Group A, Group B was formed for half a year | The site has been nominated on the basis of infectious or non-infectious problems | An area which yields the most surprising results for midlines | 2 rate-based and 2 qualitative measures have been supposed |
| Methods: Intervention/Instruments | Z Test has been conducted between the 2 samples | Discussion between the 2 groups of executive conducted to check the suggestion in the Asia Pacific region and then sent APSIC executive committee to check these evidences | Introduction to certain tool associated with the CLABSI has been thoroughly discussed | Methods in this started from hand hygiene to insertion and maintenance of central lines along with the monitor emerging practices has been adopted |
| Analysis | X2 Test has been conducted to calculate the catheters days | Analysis has been done on the basis of previous endorsements along with the hunts on the computer with the keywords | It was analyzed that because of the financial issues the use of central venous access device is less required than in the previous time | Different strategies have been adopted to reduce the CLABSI and prevention in the hospitals discussed |
| Key Findings | There is substantial decline in the overall numbers of catheters days in Group A from the Group B | In the Asia Pacific region, CLABSI showed the joint density 4.7 per 1000 catheters days and advanced countries have zero percent rate | Evidence revealed that the midline device is becoming a valuable method for the harmless treatment | CLABSI has measured the inevitable episode that results in the delays in the methods |
| Recommendations | Decrease the number of inhabiting days when eliminating catheters Escape femoral supplement spots Proper technique for CVC’s should be adopted |
Improve statement to share the data Execution of CLABSI addition and conservation bundles |
One of the useful methods to decrease the CLABSI are to only place it in the central-line where it offers the procedures for ultrasound | For CLABSI decrease attentive and methodical tactics have been followed and also addressing them in the public essentials of modification |
| Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone Project | It is available online easily accessible and at the same time authentic as well | Articles are easily accessible and available online | Supports the project because it gives the total insight of the projects cost through different tools | Categorically explain the different concepts with the full precision |

| Article Title and Year Published | Safe administration of vancomycin through a novel midline catheter: a randomized, prospective clinical trial 2014 |
Summary of Recommendations: Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-related Infections 2011 |
Ultrasound-guided placement of midline catheters in the surgical intensive care unit: a cost-effective proposal for timely central line removal 2013 |
Qualitative Analysis of Central and Midline Care in the Medical/Surgical Setting 2012 |
| Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative), and Purposes/Aim of Study | The main aim is to define if venous vancomycin easily checked through the original midline catheter | The main aim of this research is to give evidence associated with the intravascular catheter-related infections | The central intravenous catheters in the surgical care unit are difficult but it can be enhanced through the ultrasound-guided midline catheters | To study the concept of central-line catheter from the social viewpoint and to improve the concept |
| Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative) | Quantitative design | Qualitative design | Quantitative design | Qualitative design |
| Setting/Sample | A measured, scientific and randomized trial was conducted | Catheters were used on the basis of intended purpose | The study of 31 subjects admitted to the surgical intensive care unit was performed | Was completed in 400 to 600 beds municipal hospital in Florida |
| Methods: Intervention/Instruments | Different patients get the venous vancomycin through each from midline catheter or from the central catheter device | Different catheters and sites have been used through various methods | Midline catheters (20m) length were employed under the ultrasound guidance | Phenomenology background was useful for this research |
| Analysis | In this, the difficulties and rate analysis of insertion of midline catheter and the central catheter has been done | It was analyzed on the basis of hand hygiene aseptic technique, skin preparation, catheter sites dressing regimens, patient cleansing | The total cost for the midline catheter was 87$ per catheter without any associated labor cost | Practices from 45-minute, telephone conferences allocated by the nurses to 4 units, through highest CLABSI occurrence, remained examined. |
| Key Findings | By the insertion, it has been determined that venom vancomycin can be securely managed from the mid-line catheter | The area of an actual avoidance platform must deduct the CLABSI from all patient-care regions. Though it’s stimulating, plans verified accomplishment, however constant removal needs constant strength | The entire practice money was $87 per catheter for the Surgical intensive care unit team Equaled from the $1500 per catheter after did by an interventional radiologist. 283 central-line days remained eluded with money probably of $13,614 during This study period |
Nurses suggested the organization to minimize the infection rate Administering the proper techniques and CLABSI |
| Recommendations | The study for this was conducted at the local or low scale so the large-scale study has been recommended | Teach the healthcare person about the intravascular catheter use Considered qualified people for this job |
An ultrasound-guided catheter was the reliable economical substitute for patients in the SICU | Half a year after operation of the proposal, made on the nurses’ existed practices, the ratio of impurities has fallen 64% |
| Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone | There was no conflict of interest of author in this so the study is available online | Articles can easily support the Capstone because it can be re-written | In this research has been conducted on this to further elaborate the cost-effectiveness associated with the surgical care unit | This articles is fully based on the on-ground experimentations and results it will be recommended |
