Foundations of Vascular Access Complete Pathway Course Bundle
COMPLETE PATHWAY BUNDLE
Overview
The Foundations of Vascular Access pathway is focused on providing the clinician with a greater understanding of vascular access devices with an introduction, anatomy of veins, vein and catheter selection, components of vascular access, information on documentation, and legal aspects of infusion therapy. These foundational courses lay the groundwork of vascular access practice and help guide the learner into a deeper knowledge of veins, and catheters. The documentation provides details and a review of the components to include in the patient medical record that serve to inform and protect both the patient and clinician, and working in conjunction with the course on legal aspects of infusion therapy.
Courses included in Bundle
Legal Aspects of Infusion Therapy
Do you fully understand the scope your of practice on a daily level? Do you understand what you will and will not be held liable for if an adverse event occurs with one of your patients? This class is a must-see to fully understand what actions are expected of you in the care of patients and what processes are to be followed if an adverse event occurs.
Documentation
With so many clinicians caring for each patient, the only way to fully communicate patient status and need is through medical record documentation.This documentation must be comprehensive and precise to be useful and provide fluent care for the patient. This program teaches and provides examples of documentation as required by standards.
Introduction to Vascular Access Devices
This program provides a working knowledge of the various categories of vascular access devices in use (peripheral and central), and describes the various considerations and limitations associated with each device.
Basic Vein Anatomy
This program provides an overview of the venous system, describes the 3 layers of the vein and the function of each layer, and explains how the location of valves and the function of vasoconstriction may affect the success of a venipuncture procedure.
Understanding MAGIC
This program introduces MAGIC, The Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters, which is the first publication to validate device indication and provide guidance for appropriate use of PICCs and other peripheral and central devices. The goal of MAGIC was to applying evidence for the selection of a peripheral versus a central device. By establishing clear direction for the selection of a peripheral or central catheter, risk is reduced by only selecting central catheters when there is a specific indication for these higher risk devices. Come learn the magic of MAGIC!
Applying Device Selection Practices
This program provides practice in the selection of a vascular access device by methodically applying device selection practices to varying patient conditions. Learn to take a methodical approach to device selection by analyzing prescribed therapies, length of treatment plan, patient factors, etc., with the goal of selecting one device that allows completion of therapy while avoiding complications and preserving patient vasculature.
Components of a Vascular Access Device
In this program, we identify the common components that comprise all vascular access device – from luers to lumens, hubs and clamps, including options available for each of these components. To effectively work with these devices, you must first understand all the parts and pieces, including their intended purpose and how to know if a component is functioning properly.
