Reducing peripheral intravenous cannula (PIVC) infections
About the project
This project aims to reduce overall Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) infections by improving:
- identification of the need for peripheral intravenous cannula (PIVC) insertion
- management of patients with a PIVC in Acute Care.
Reducing this hospital acquired complication and improving management may reduce the length of stay and potentially other complications, while improving patient outcomes and experience.
