Right Securement, Dressing, and Management

Abstract: This chapter considers the role of securement in CVAD care, providing an overview of the background and how knowledge and research has evolved in this area. The complications of inadequate securement such as infection, migration, pistoning, and medical adhesiverelated skin injury (MARSI) are examined to understand contributing factors that lead to their development. Practices that enhance optimal securement and mitigate risks are discussed as part of the clinician's role in the prevention of complications in o… Show more

“…This appears to indicate that GRIP-LOK has a superior ability to secure catheters compared with conventional skin sutures. Indeed, some reports have noted that such adhesive securement devices—which tightly adhere to the skin without the use of sutures—can more effectively minimize catheter movement due to their high stability 12 . Since even slight disturbances of a catheter at the exit site, due to inadequate securement, can increase the catheter infection risk 13 , we surmise that the GRIP-LOK device prevents CRBSI from occurring by keeping such movements to a minimum.…”

“…9,10 Wilkinson et al 11 were the first to describe the use of glue on venous catheters as an alternative method of securement. More recently, other reasons for using glue on the exit site of venous catheters have been identified 12–16 : its hemostatic role, particularly important when some risk of local bleeding is anticipated, 6 and its antibacterial role, since sealing the exit site provides a mechanical obstacle to bacterial invasion. 17…”

“…12,13 On a microscale, pistoning is the mechanical motion of the catheter in and out of the skin, which can lead to irritation of the intima of the vessel and over time potentially contribute to thrombotic changes. 14 This pistoning action can allow the migration of organisms along the catheter and into the bloodstream and is believed to lead to the development of phlebitis, the most common complication associated with catheter use. 12,13,15 An effective securement technique should be able to prevent both macro-and micro-movements of the catheter components, as well as provide a barrier to reduce the risk of complications.…”

“…Patient movement and frequent dressing changes can cause large-scale movement of the catheter, sometimes resulting in dislodgement and requiring a new catheter to be inserted 12,13. On a micro-scale, pistoning is the mechanical motion of the catheter in and out of the skin, which can lead to irritation of the intima of the vessel and over time potentially contribute to thrombotic changes 14. This pistoning action can allow the migration of organisms along the catheter and into the bloodstream and is believed to lead to the development of phlebitis, the most common complication associated with catheter use 12,13,15.…”
