Lyons and A. Phalen}, journal={Journal of Infusion Nursing}, year={2014}, volume={37}, pages={270–281} } M. Lyons, A. Phalen Published 2014 Medicine Journal of Infusion Nursing Introduction/Significance/Population: Research has failed to demonstrate an optimal flushing solution or frequency for central catheters. In a 2002 study of 50 000 home care patients, catheter dysfunction with loss of patency was the most common complication and occurred in 29% of the peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) tracked. With the advent of the Affordable Care Act and the promise of expanded home care services, this study offers evidence as to a preferred flushing protocol to… Expand View on Wolters Kluwer download.lww.com Save to Library Create Alert Cite Launch Research Feed Share This Paper 17 CitationsHighly Influential Citations 2 Background Citations 4 Methods Citations 1 View All Topics from this paper Flushing heparin alteplase CNS disorder Home care of patient Protocols documentation Neoplasms Confidence Intervals Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia Drug Allergy Sample Variance Anticoagulants Clinical act of insertion Laboratory Procedures Exclusion Excretory function 17 Citations Citation Type Citation Type All Types Cites Results Cites Methods Cites Background Has PDF Publication Type Author More Filters More Filters Filters Sort by Relevance Sort by Most Influenced Papers Sort by Citation Count Sort by Recency Obstruction of peripherally inserted central catheters in newborns: prevention is the best intervention M.
