Optimisation des montages de perfusion en anesthésie-réanimation : au travers d'expériences cliniques / Optimization of infusion lines in intensive care units : through clinical experiencesGenay, Stéphanie 12 November 2014 (has links)
Au cours de l’administration simultanée de plusieurs médicaments injectables, sont utilisées une ligne principale de perfusion et une ou plusieurs ligne(s) en dérivation. La ligne principale est directement reliée au cathéter et permet l’administration des solutions utilisées pour l’apport hydro-électrolytique ou de maintenir une voie d’abord veineuse perméable. Les autres thérapeutiques vont être perfusées en dérivation de cette ligne principale. La prise en charge des patients relevant de soins intensifs et de réanimation nécessite une polymédication. Les traitements d’urgence impliquent majoritairement des médicaments à marge thérapeutique étroite. Lors de l’administration de médicaments en solutions concentrées, de faibles perturbations du débit d’administration peuvent engendrer de fortes perturbations cliniques et notamment, pour les médicaments vasoactifs, créer une instabilité hémodynamique. C’est pourquoi il est important d’étudier la problématique de la perfusion simultanée, de déterminer l’impact sur le débit massique des lignes de perfusion et la technique optimale des changements de seringues pour prévenir les variations intempestives du débit de perfusion. Ce mémoire présente un travail de développement et d’évaluation d’une démarche d’optimisation d’un système de perfusion complexe. Il consiste à étudier au travers d’évaluations in vitro et d’études cliniques la conception d’une ligne de perfusion en évaluant notamment un dispositif médical innovant afin de proposer, in fine, une solution applicable dans un service de soins intensifs. La première partie consiste à présenter l’ensemble des dispositifs médicaux de perfusion utilisés dans un département d’anesthésie-réanimation. La seconde partie s’intéresse à l’administration d’un médicament couramment perfusé sur la voie proximale: la noradrénaline. Les études in vitro, corroborées par des données cliniques, ont permis de montrer la supériorité de l’administration de noradrénaline à 0,5 mg/mL perfusée en Y avec une solution saline isotonique à débit fixe de 5 mL/h. Cette multiperfusion fait intervenir l’utilisation d’un prolongateur trois voies à faible volume résiduel, permettant d’optimiser les conditions de relais de seringues, connues comme étant à l’origine d’instabilités hémodynamiques chez les patients traités par catécholamines. Un programme hospitalier de recherche clinique interrégional est déposé dans le but d’établir des recommandations de perfusion des catécholamines.La troisième partie aborde l’administration des médicaments sur voie distale en sélectionnant l’insuline comme marqueur-médicament. Les résultats de cette étude clinique prospective randomisée contrôlée ont montré que l’utilisation d’un dispositif médical innovant, le dispositif Edelvaiss-Multiline 8 (Doran International) caractérisé par un tube multilumières à faible volume résiduel qui permet de dédier une voie à une seule thérapeutique, permettait de réduire significativement le temps passé en hypoglycémie pour 1000 heures de perfusion d’insuline au cours de perfusion continue d’insuline en soins intensifs périopératoires.Enfin, dans une dernière partie, les critères clés d’un montage optimisé de multiperfusion sont élaborés et sont mis en application dans un département d’anesthésie-réanimation dans le but d’optimiser et uniformiser la ligne de perfusion des patients. Ce travail a permis de valider les caractéristiques clés de la ligne de perfusion définis dans de précédentes études non cliniques : la nature du matériau des dispositifs médicaux utilisés, l’utilisation de valves appropriées, la minimisation des volumes internes des tubulures de perfusion, l’utilisation de systèmes de perfusion automatisés permettant de contrôler au mieux le débit d’administration des médicaments. / For the simultaneous administration of injectable drugs, the infusion line includes a main line with one or several derivative lines. The main line, which is directly connected to the catheter, is dedicated to hydration infusion or to maintain a permeable vein. Other medications will be added on the derivative lines.Intensive care unit patients frequently require lots of medications in the same time. Most of emergency drugs are substances with narrow therapeutic range. When concentrated solutions are employed, tiny mass flow rate disturbances can provoke clinical damages, such as haemodynamic instability. So, several parameters have been studied on simultaneous infusions: mass flow rate and syringes changeovers.The purpose of this work was to develop and optimize complex infusion line systems. An innovative infusion medical device has been evaluated in clinical trials and in vitro studies. The final objective was to design an optimized infusion line, which could be applied to ICUs.The whole medical devices used in ICUs was first listed. Then, noradrenaline has been used as the reference drug to study central venous catheter proximal line. A 0.5 mg/mL noradrenaline solution Y-infused with a saline (5mL/h) has been shown by clinical and in vitro data to be the best solution. Nevertheless, this conclusion was valid only with the use of a very low dead-space volume Y-extension set. Thanks to this device, syringe changeovers optimization is possible.The central venous catheter distal line has been studied in a second time through an open randomized controlled prospective clinical trial. Primary endpoint of the study was the impact of two different insulin infusion lines (Edelvaiss-Multiline 8, Doran International versus standard line) on glycaemic variability. Doran’s innovative device consists of an exten¬sion set with eight accesses connected to nine separated lumens in a single tube. This allows to dedicate an isolated way for insulin. With its use, a significant decrease of hypoglycaemia occurring in 1000h of infusion period was clinically demonstrated. Finally, all the data were synthetized to optimize an ICU multi-infusion line. The one, which has been designed for surgery and intensive care units, was tested on patients.To conclude, items responsible for mass flow rate disturbances have been identified: medical devices material, addition of appropriated valves, internal volume line minimization and use of automated infusion systems (as pumps). The ideal infusion line has to take into account all these parameters.

Vuxna patienters upplevelser av perifer venkateter / Adult patients experiences of peripheral intravenous catheterAxelsson, Sara, Wyndhamn, Victoria January 2020 (has links)
Perifer venkateter (PVK) är en kvarliggande kateter i en ven som används för att administrera behandling. PVK-insättning kan upplevas som obehaglig av patienter och det ligger i sjuksköterskans profession att säkerhetsställa en säker och personcentrerad vård för att främja patienters delaktighet samt medbestämmande i vården. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa faktorer som påverkar vuxna patienters upplevelser av perifer venkateter. Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats. Resultatet grundades på tio vetenskapliga artiklar som belyste ett flertal faktorer som påverkade upplevelsen av PVK hos vuxna patienter. De kategorier som framkom var Patienters känslor, Information och kommunikation, Patienters upplevelser av vårdpersonal samt Smärta. Återkommande i resultatet var att patienters känslor behövdes tas i beaktande, lika så var sjuksköterskans roll och arbetssätt väsentliga för en god upplevelse. Bristande information, kommunikation och dokumentation påverkade patienters upplevelser av PVK-insättning negativt. Smärta var en återkommande faktor vid insättning och det förekom ett flertal distraktionsmetoder och hjälpmedel som patienter upplevde var smärtreducerande. Konklusionen var att upplevelsen av PVK förbättrades när sjuksköterskor förhöll sig till de faktorer som påverkade patienters upplevelser av förfarandet. / Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) is an indwelling catheter in a vein, in purpose to administrate treatment. Patients can experience PIVC as unpleasant and it is in the nurses’ interest to provide a safe and patient-centered care to promote patient participation in care. The aim of the literature study was to illustrate factors that can affect adult patients experiences of peripheral intravenous catheters. The study was conducted as a structured literature review with an inductive approach. The result was based on ten scientific articles which highlighted factors that affect adult patients experiences of PIVC. Categories that emerged was Patients feelings, Information and communication, Patients’ experiences of health professionals and Pain. The result highlighted that patients’ feelings needed to be taken into consideration, as well as the nurse’s role and way of working affected a good experience. Lack of information, communication and documentation had a negative impact on patients experiences of PIVC-insertions. Pain was a recurrent factor when PIVC-insertion was performed, and several distraction-methods and tools appeared to reduce the patients experiences of pain. The conclusion was that the PIVC experience improved when nurses related to the factors affecting patients’ experiences of the procedure.

Elizabethkingia Meningoseptica Bacteremia associated with Infective Endocarditis in an Intravenous Drug AbuserSriramoju, Vindhya, M.D., Arikapudi, Sowminya, M.D., Arif, Sarah, M.D., Ali, Muazzam, M.D., Madhavaram, Suhitha, M.D., Zhang, Michael, M.D, Hannan, Abdul, M.D., Cook, Christopher T, M.D. 05 April 2018 (has links)
Elizabethkingia Meningoseptica (E. Meningoseptica) an oxidase-positive gram-negative aerobic rod.1-2 Although ubiquitous in nature and widely distributed in soil and water, it is not a part of normal human flora. Cases of outbreaks of meningitis in premature neonates or infants have been reported, however, very few cases have been reported in adults.3 Infection is primarily nosocomial, or hospital acquired and has been implicated in bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia, endocarditis especially in immunocompromised individuals.2-4 We report a 29-year-old male with past medical history significant for intravenous drug abuse, hepatitis C, oxymorphone induced hemolytic uremic syndrome, who presented to hospital with altered mental status. On admission, patient was unresponsive to vocal commands, febrile (102.3 F), tachycardic and tachypneic. He had pinpoint pupils and diffuse petechiae. In addition, he had erythematous flat macular lesions on his palms and dorsum of hands as well as injection marks in left cubital fossa. Cardiac examination was significant for a grade III systolic murmur at apical region and diastolic murmur at left second intercostal space. Laboratory studies revealed thrombocytopenia (43,000m/microL), lactic acidosis (4.9mmol/L), serum creatinine (Cr) of 6.6 mg/dL, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 10 ml/min. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed large mobile vegetation on aortic valve measuring 3.6 x 0.72 cm. Patient’s presentation was consistent with infective endocarditis with the vegetation seen on TTE and patient’s physical findings. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain showed numerous small hemorrhagic infarcts, likely secondary to emboli from aortic valve vegetation. Patient required intubation for airway protection and started on hemodialysis. He was initially started on Meropenem and Vancomycin for infective endocarditis and later switched to Ciprofloxacin based on blood cultures and sensitivities which revealed methicillin sensitive staphylococcus aureus and multi-drug resistant E. Meningoseptica. Patient was transferred to long term care facility after acute care at the hospital. The increasing incidence of polymicrobial infective endocarditis and increasing resistance to antibiotic therapy pose challenges to the rapid assessment and treatment to mitigate the multi-organ involvement with septic emboli. Reports of pathogenicity associated with native valve endocarditis with this organism is scarce and exist primarily in a very few case reports and is resistant to many traditional antibiotics.5,6 E. Meningoseptica has shown antimicrobial susceptibility to the newer quinolones, rifampin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and ciprofloxacin with reasonable activity.7 Due to the unusual pattern of antibiotic resistance, early switching to appropriate antibiotics based on sensitivities is crucial for survival in patients with E. Meningoseptica.

Third Case of Candida Dubliniensis Endogenous Endophthalmitis in North America: Case Report and Review of the LiteratureRosenberger, Elizabeth, Youssef, Dima A., Safdar, Sara, Larzo, Cristoforo R., Myers, James 01 January 2014 (has links)
There are two previous reports of Candida dubliniensis endophthalmitis in North America. Here, we report a third case of C. dubliniensis endogenous endophthalmitis in a 31-year-old male patient who complained of left-sided decreased visual acuity. He had an associated mitral and tricuspid valve endocarditis, in the setting of intravenous drug use. Blood and sputum cultures were positive for C. dubliniensis. Fundoscopic examination was consistent with a fungal endophthalmitis. He was treated with fluconazole followed by intravenous liposomal amphotericin B for 6 weeks. C. dubliniensis is an important but rare cause of endophthalmitis in intravenous drug abusers.

Intravenous and Inhaled Antimicrobials at Home in Cystic Fibrosis PatientsThigpen, Jim, Odle, Brian 01 January 2014 (has links)
The primary clinical characteristics of cystic fibrosis (CF) are malnutrition caused by malabsorption secondary to pancreatic insufficiency, chronic pulmonary infections, and male infertility. The major cause of morbidity and mortality are bronchiectasis and obstructive pulmonary disease. Lung disease in CF is manifested by this chronic lung disease progression, with intermittent episodes of acute worsening of symptoms called pulmonary exacerbations. Once the patient has stabilized, and if suitable care can be arranged, these interventions are often transitioned to the home. This review summarizes important points pertinent to the use of intravenous and inhaled antimicrobials that may be encountered by prescribers, nurses, technicians, and case managers in the home health setting. Appropriate dosing, indications, adverse drug reactions, monitoring parameters, and practicality of both intravenous and inhaled antimicrobials are discussed.

Relationship Between Inorganic Ion Distribution, Resting Membrane Potential, and the ΔG' of ATP Hydrolysis: a New ParadigmVeech, Richard L., King, M. Todd, Pawlosky, Robert, Bradshaw, Patrick C., Curtis, William 01 December 2019 (has links)
Cell membrane potential and inorganic ion distributions are currently viewed from a kinetic electric paradigm, which ignores thermodynamics. The resting membrane potential is viewed as a diffusion potential. The 9 major inorganic ions found in blood plasma (Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, K+, H+, Cl-, HCO3-, H2PO4-, and HPO42-) are distributed unequally across the plasma membrane. This unequal distribution requires the energy of ATP hydrolysis through the action of the Na+-K+ ATPase. The cell resting membrane potential in each of 3 different tissues with widely different resting membrane potentials has been shown to be equal to the Nernst equilibrium potential of the most permeant inorganic ion. The energy of the measured distribution of the 9 major inorganic ions between extra- and intracellular phases was essentially equal to the independently measured energy of ATP hydrolysis, showing that the distribution of these 9 major ions was in near-equilibrium with the ΔG' of ATP. Therefore, thermodynamics does appear to play an essential role in the determination of the cell resting membrane potential and the inorganic ion distribution across the plasma membrane.-Veech, R. L., King, M. T., Pawlosky, R., Bradshaw, P. C., Curtis, W. Relationship between inorganic ion distribution, resting membrane potential, and the ΔG' of ATP hydrolysis: a new paradigm.
