Cine­picc: satisfaction and knowledge following a video and hands-on training on peripherally inserted central catheter

Introduction: This study assessed the knowledge and satisfaction of a nursing staff regarding peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) care before and after a combined training strategy consisting of a video and hands-on practice.Methods: A cross-sectional and prospective study with data collection held at a public university hospital from March 2018 to May 2018 and in March 2019. Participants answered a pre-test about PICC lines, watched a video on PICC care and maintenance, attended hands-on sessions, and answered a post-test.Results: A total of 520 professionals participated in the study, of which 87.4% were from the nursing staff. The pre-test was answered by 211 individuals and the post-test questions were answered by 203 people. The satisfaction research showed 97% of satisfied respondents.Conclusions: Our results indicate that a change from the traditional training model to an active educational approach reached more participants, representing an innovative pedagogical tool in the training of critical and reflexive professionals.

Cateter venoso central de inserção periférica e trombose: experiência em hospital de alta complexidade / Catéter venoso central de inserción periférica y trombosis: una experiencia en un hospital de alta complejidad / Peripherally-inserted central venous catheter: an experience in a high-complexity hospital

RESUMO Objetivo: descrever as variáveis associadas à trombose nos pacientes com cateter venoso central de inserção periférica. Método: estudo de coorte, retrospectivo, com dados coletados em 2016, no sistema de informação Research Eletronic Data Capture de um hospital de alta complexidade em São Paulo, Brasil. Resultados: o paciente crítico foi o que mais apresentou trombose (77,3%). O paciente que tinha o cateter venoso central de inserção periférica com ocupação do vaso sanguíneo maior que 33%, quando puncionado mais de uma vez (15,4%), evoluiu com trombose. Referente à área de punção, não houve resultado significativo já que 96,2% dos pacientes estavam com o cateter na zona ideal de punção no braço. Conclusão: a incidência de pacientes com Cateter Venoso Central de Inserção Periférica que evoluíram com trombose foi de 1,2%, considerada baixa em comparação com outros estudos, contribuindo para fortalecer as políticas de boas práticas para o sucesso da terapia intravenosa com seu uso.

RESUMEN: Objetivo: describir las variables asociadas a la trombosis en pacientes con un catéter venoso central de inserción periférica. Método: estudio de cohorte, retrospectivo, realizado con datos recolectados en el año 2016, en el sistema de información Research Eletronic Data Capture de un hospital de alta complejidad en San Pablo, Brasil. Resultados: los pacientes críticos fueron los que presentaron más casos de trombosis (77,3%). Cuando se realizó más de una punción (15,4%) en pacientes en los que el catéter venoso central de inserción periférica ocupaba más del 33% del vaso sanguíneo, el cuadro clínico evolucionó con trombosis. En relación al área de punción, no se registró un resultado significativo, puesto que el 96,2% de los pacientes tenía el catéter en la zona ideal de punción en el brazo. Conclusión: la incidencia de pacientes con un Catéter Venoso Central de Inserción Periférica que evolucionaron con trombosis fue del 1,2%, considerada baja en comparación con otros estudios, lo que contribuye a fortalecer las políticas de buenas prácticas para el buen resultado de la terapia intravenosa con su uso.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the variables associated with thrombosis in patients with peripherally-inserted central venous catheters. Method: a retrospective cohort study with data collected in 2016, in the Research Electronic Data Capture information system of a high-complexity hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Results: the critical patient was the one who presented more thrombosis (77.3%). The patient who had a peripherally-inserted central venous catheter taking more than 33% of the blood vessel, when punctured more than once (15.4%), evolved with thrombosis. Regarding the puncture area, there was no significant result since 96.2% of the patients had the catheter in the ideal puncture zone in the arm. Conclusion: the incidence of patients with Peripherally-Inserted Central Venous Catheters who evolved with thrombosis was 1.2%, considered low compared to other studies, contributing to strengthen the policies of good practices for the success of the intravenous therapy with its use.
