Learning Objectives
Discuss barriers to ED staff engagementDescribe strategies to engage ED staff in aseptic insertion technique2Slide3
The Scope of the Problem
Guidelines for preventing CAUTI have always recommended aseptic insertion techniques.Healthcare providers who insert catheters say they use aseptic technique.In multiple observation studies, at least half of the time there are significant breaks in aseptic technique.Slide4
Lack of Knowledge
Healthcare providers may not have the skills to maintain aseptic technique given work environment constraints.They may observe peers inserting catheters and notice that aseptic technique is not used.4Slide5
Lack of Knowledge:
Strategies to OvercomeFirst, always make sure that there is an appropriate indication for catheterization.Review catheter insertion technique during annual competency testing.Require that there be oversight for catheter insertion by a licensed provider.Develop a policy on catheter insertion techniques if none is in place.Use a variety of checklists.5Slide6
Lack of Importance
Activities strictly within the nursing domain may not perceived as being important or of much value, compared to activities that cross disciplinary boundaries.Catheter insertion may be perceived as one of many “tasks” rather than as a component of evidence-based practice.6Slide7
Lack of Importance:
Strategies to OvercomeAseptic insertion of indwelling urinary catheters is a component of evidence-based practice, no matter what the discipline.Develop a culture where evidence-based practice is recognized and rewarded.Think in terms of nursing practice components rather than a set of tasks to be completed.7Slide8
Lack of Feedback & Strategy to Overcome
Patients move from the ED to other units, and there is no systematic process to let ED staff know of patient outcomes.Organizational level strategies:Post CAUTI rates for all units, so that comparisons can be seen.8Slide9
Lack of Resources
Time, financial, space, equipment constraints can all contribute to situations where aseptic insertion techniques are not used.Variation in staffing resources contributes as well: High turnoverUnderstaffing9Slide10
Lack of Resources:
Strategies to MinimizeAdequate supplies:over-the-bed tableshand sanitizerssterile glovesbest type of kit to stock for your patient populationWould individual supplies be better than a kit?Adequate facilities for hand hygiene
10Slide11
Components of Aseptic Insertion
Set up a sterile field.Perform hand hygiene immediately before and after insertion.Use sterile gloves, drapes, sponges. Use appropriate antiseptic or sterile solution for peri-urethral cleaning, and a single-use packet of lubricant jelly for catheter tip.If catheter is accidentally contaminated, it is discarded, and a new sterile catheter is obtained.

Tips for Success
A non-punitive cultureVisible and supportive leadershipIdentify system-wide barriers to aseptic insertion:Lack of adequate suppliesLack of space for sterile field set-upsLack of manpowerAllocate resources to overcome as many barriers as possible.12Slide13
More Tips for Success!
Transition to an evidence-based practice approach for patient care delivery. Several evidence-based practice models are available to choose from; they all provide guidelines for enlisting staff support and buy-in.Enable collaborative and decentralized decision-making. Allow nurses to make decisions that affect their practice.13Slide14
