Hi all,
This is an excellent Australian website to start with: Read our research (avatargroup.org.au)
There is an Australian Standards coming Peripheral Intravenous Catheters | Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care although COVID had slowed the release, not sure when it will be out.
The following is a good recent one.
Ray-Barruel G, Xu H, Marsh N, Cooke M, Rickard CM. Effectiveness of insertion and maintenance bundles in preventing peripheral intravenous catheter-related complications and bloodstream infection in hospital patients: A systematic review. Infect Dis Health. 2019 Aug;24(3):152-168. doi: 10.1016/j.idh.2019.03.001. Epub 2019 Apr 18. PMID: 31005606.
Kind regards,

Hi Kirsty,
I am very interested in this topic also.
In the last 6 months I have noticed an increase in SAB relating to PIVCs within the organization I work in.
We are about to review our PIVC documents and care bundles and would be very appreciative of any research, guidelines and best practice to improve patient care and reduce HAI’s.
Thank you
Kind Regards,
Emily Stewart – Infection Control Coordinator RN

Good morning
On the Central Coast we are undertaking a SABSI Improvement plan and keen to learn from others and any strategies used to reduce the incidence of SAB particularly those related to PIVCs.
We have developed a comprehensive local action plan but also keen to consider any initiatives used by other LHDs.
Thanks in advance for any support.
Cheers
Kirsty
