Summary
Brief summary
IVD insertion is the most common invasive healthcare procedure with approximately 14 million IVDs used in Australia each year. IVDs alone are inadequate to deliver most therapy and require connection to an administration set. These IVD administration sets (AS) refer to infusion systems comprised of some or all of: tubing, fluid containers, pressure monitoring transducers, blood sampling ports, measuring burettes and extension tubing. IVDs and their AS break the natural defence barrier of the skin, and are the single most important cause of healthcare acquired blood stream infection (BSI). Most IVD's are replaced every 3 -4 days , however preliminary research suggests routine replacement of AS every 4 days costs Australia about $1 billion annually, and some studies suggest 7 day use would reduce costs with no threat to patient safety.
