This study evaluated the effects of Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) intervention on pediatric distress and pain and family satisfaction during routine peripheral intravenous (PIV) line placement in the emergency department (ED). A convenience sample of 78 children (3-13 years) requiring PIV placement for their treatment at a regional level 1 pediatric trauma center ED with 70 000 annual visits were selected to receive either standard nursing care or CCLS intervention for PIV placement. CCLS involvement was associated with fewer negative emotional behaviors as indicated by a lower score on the Children's Emotional Manifestation Scale (-3.37 ± 1.49, P = .027), a reduction in self-reported pain on the Wong-Baker Faces pain rating scale (-1.107 ± 0.445, P = .017), an increase in parent-reported patient cooperation during PIV placement, and greater satisfaction with the ED visit. This study demonstrates that Child Life can have an impact on important outcomes in the pediatric ED such as distress, pain, and visit satisfaction.

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of peripheral vasopressors to decrease central line placement and associated bloodstream infections.
J Infect Prev

Department of Pharmacy Services, Cooper University Healthcare, Camden, NJ, USA.
Background: In 2020, as a result of evidence of demonstrated safety of an initial pilot program, our institution set out to implement a peripheral vasopressor infusion protocol.
Objective: To evaluate the use of peripheral lines for vasopressor administration to reduce placement of unnecessary central lines and central line days.
Methods: This is an Institutional Review Board approved, single center retrospective chart review conducted as pre/post-analysis.

Introduction: Ultrasound guided IV catheter (USGIV) access occurs frequently in Emergency Departments (EDs). This task is often performed using large, expensive, cart-based ultrasound systems (CBUS) which are frequently needed for other ED ultrasound functions and can be cumbersome to use and store. Handheld ultrasounds (HHUs) may be able to meet this need, but it is unknown if they function interchangeably with CBUS for USGIV placement.

Design: Quantitative two-phase, cluster analysis design.
Methods: The study consisted of the following two phases: (1) a quantitative retrospective chart review to evaluate clinician utilisation and preference for vein visualisation technologies and (2) a quantitative prospective design, including a post-discharge retrospective chart review, to confirm utilisation of vein visualisation technologies and factors influencing clinician decision-making.
Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Intravenous Access Training: A Prospective Observational Study of Emergency Nurses.

Emergency Medicine, Maine Medical Center, Portland, USA.
Background Ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous (USGPIV) placement is more successful, comfortable, and longer lasting than traditional landmark-based IVs. While many hospitals have protocols for becoming credentialed in this skill, there is little information available about the USGPIV success rate during and after training. Objectives This pilot study aimed to quantify USGPIV attempts by emergency nurses undergoing USGPIV training and to determine if 10 successful USGPIVs predicted success in the next USGPIV.

Connecticut Children's, Hartford, Conn.
Introduction: Venous access is a common source of pain for hospitalized patients. Topical anesthetics are effective at decreasing needle pain, can improve success rate, and decrease procedure time; however, use before peripheral intravenous line (PIV) placement is inconsistent. The aim was to reduce pain experienced by hospitalized pediatric patients by increasing topical anesthetic use for PIV placement from a mean of 11% to 40% within 6 months.
