Critical Care Practice Education Updates
We will soon be commencing a cross site trial of a new infusion giving set with a built in flush. First of all I would ask you all to remember to label all lines with the date as these sets can be used for 72 hours, flushed insitu whilst maintaining connection, then used again with a different medication. So, reminding each other to label our lines with the date will help in our transition towards the trial and our compliance with the new sets. I will be carrying out an audit over the next couple of weeks to try and see how many sets we use currently. I am hoping that these new sets will improve our medication compliance as we will be giving the full dose whilst improving our sustainability. Full training will obviously be given by moi! I will also pop over to Eastbourne and assist there. Jess is off supernumery from week beginning 5th May and I know you guys will continue to support and guide her. We are currently being trained in the use of some new PCA pumps. We will have support from the reps 12-2pm Mon-Thurs and they will catch as many people as possible on shift - with Bob and Sam covering. There will also be a pump set up for us to cascade to trained staff with a view to us all having some training over the next 3 weeks. Protect trial we still waiting for the green light to go ahead with recruiting participants We have not had any candidates yet for the release trial - so we still need to keep informed with regards to APRV.
