Everything for the job: SOP Catheterization of cubital and other peripheral veins

Main part of the SOP

Terms and Definitions

Catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CABI) is an inflammatory process that develops when pathogenic microorganisms enter the bloodstream from the lumen of an infected PVB or an infected vein puncture site. Peripheral venous catheter is a device for providing and maintaining peripheral venous access. Hematoma is bleeding under the skin. Infiltration is the entry of infusion solutions or medications that do not cause irritation into the tissues surrounding the vein. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a vein. Extravasation is the entry of drugs with irritating properties into the tissue surrounding the vein. Phlebitis is an inflammation of the vein wall, leading to the destruction of the venous walls. It can provoke the formation of blood clots - in this case it turns into thrombophlebitis.

Abbreviations used:

HAI – healthcare associated infections; ICU – intensive care unit; CAI – catheter-associated bloodstream infection; PVC – peripheral venous catheter; SOP is a standard operating procedure.

I. Preparation for the procedure

1. Select the smallest size of the PVK (see Appendix 1) according to the following criteria: – vein diameter;
– required rate of drug administration; – potential residence time of the catheter in the vein; – properties of the injected solution. 2. Check the integrity of the catheter packaging and the date of manufacture. 3. Prepare and deliver to the ward a manipulation table with the necessary equipment placed on it and place it close to the place of manipulation. 4. Identify the patient, introduce yourself, explain the process and purpose of the procedure. 5. Make sure that the patient has signed informed consent for the procedure. If informed consent is not signed, check with your doctor for further steps. 6. Invite the patient to take a comfortable position, help him in this, if necessary. The patient's position should provide access to the site where the PVC is installed. 7. Select a site for insertion of the PVK according to the product manufacturer’s instructions: – distal veins – above the site of previous catheterization; – well palpable veins; – make sure that there is no soft tissue inflammation or phlebitis at the catheter insertion site; – make sure that the vein is well filled; – make sure that the vein is located on the non-dominant arm; – make sure that the vein is located on the side opposite to the surgical intervention; – make sure that the vein has a sufficiently large diameter. II.
Algorithm for performing the procedure 1. Put on a gown, hat, mask and goggles or a mask with a protective screen. 2. Treat your hands with an alcohol-containing skin antiseptic in a hygienic manner. 3. Do not dry your hands, wait until the antiseptic has completely dried. 4. Wear sterile gloves. 5. Treat the catheter insertion site with a sterile alcohol-containing wipe in the direction from the center to the periphery. 6. Wait the time necessary for the antiseptic to act on the treated surface (do not palpate the catheter insertion site). 7. Apply a tourniquet 10–15 cm above the catheter insertion site. The maximum time the tourniquet is on the limb is 2 minutes. Watch for pulsation on the radial artery - it should persist. 8. Re-treat the intended catheter insertion site with an antiseptic. 9. Take the catheter and remove the protective cover. Hold the case between the fingers of your free hand if it has an optional cap. 10. Secure the vein by pressing it with your fingers below the intended catheter insertion site. 11. Pierce the skin, vein and insert the catheter needle at an acute angle. Watch for the appearance of blood in the indicator chamber. 12. Fix the stiletto needle. 13. Slowly slide the catheter cannula from the needle into the vein to the end. Do not allow the stylet needle to be inserted into the catheter after it has been displaced into a vein. 14. Remove the tourniquet. 15. Pinch the vein with your finger above the catheter insertion site (this will reduce bleeding). 16. Remove the stylet needle from the catheter and discard into a Class B waste container. 17. Remove the plug from the catheter and attach the infusion set. 18. Remove your finger from the vein. 19. Inspect the catheter insertion site and surrounding area. Make sure there is no hyperemia or swelling. 20. Apply an aseptic transparent sterile dressing to the catheter insertion site. Secure the catheter using a sterile bandage. 21. If there is a risk of accidental removal of the catheter, secure it additionally with a sterile bandage. 22. Dispose of used material into a Class B waste container and bag. 23. Remove gloves and place them in a disinfectant container or waterproof Class B waste bag/container. 24. Clean hands using hygienic methods and dry hands. 25. Ask the patient how he is feeling. 26. Make a note about the installation of the PVC on the observation sheet (Appendix 2). 27. Paste the observation sheet into the medical history.

III. Intermediate control

1. Assess radial artery pulsation after applying a tourniquet.
2. Assess the patient's well-being after completion of the procedure. IV.
Daily Catheter Care Algorithm 1. Put on a gown, cap, mask, goggles, or face shield.
2. Perform any manipulations with the catheter wearing sterile gloves. 3. Inspect the catheter entry site every 12 hours through an intact dressing. Look for signs of inflammation - swelling, soreness. 4. Assess the condition of the catheter insertion site using the phlebitis scale (Appendix 3) and make appropriate notes on the PVC observation sheet. 5. During the procedure, follow the rules of asepsis. 6. Do not touch infusion equipment with your hands. 7. Use tees according to the timing of catheter use. 8. If infusion therapy is not carried out, then flush the catheter with saline twice a day. Additionally, flush the catheter: – before each infusion to confirm its patency; – after infusion therapy, to prevent mixing of incompatible drugs and chemical irritation of the inner wall of the vein with the infusion solution. 9. If the catheter becomes obstructed, remove it immediately, without rinsing. 10. Change the infusion lines of the perfusers once a day. 11. Dispose of used materials and products as class B waste. 12. Perform hand hygiene. 13. Enter the inspection data of the catheter insertion site into the PVK condition monitoring sheet (Appendix 2). V. Algorithm for changing the bandage
1. Monitor the condition of the fixing bandage daily.
2. Change the dressing: – no later than after 12 hours, if the catheter is installed on an emergency basis, with a possible violation of aseptic rules; – every 72 hours in the absence of signs of inflammation; – immediately if the bandage becomes loose, dirty or wet. 3. When changing the dressing, follow the rules of asepsis. 4. Before changing the dressing, put on a gown, cap, mask, and, if necessary, an apron. 5. Wear clean, non-sterile gloves. 6. Remove the bandage, slowly wrapping it parallel to the skin (do not pull upward), preferably along the hair growth - this is necessary to prevent damage to the skin around the catheter entry site. 7. Place the removed bandage in a waterproof bag/container. 8. Place used gloves in a waterproof bag/container for class B waste. 9. Using a sterile antiseptic wipe, taken using sterile tweezers, treat the skin around the catheter - from the center to the periphery. 10. Discard the tissue in a waterproof bag/container. 11. Use a sterile antiseptic wipe using sterile tweezers to clean all parts and connections, including the cannula and catheter. Wait for the antiseptic to dry completely. 12. For patients with sensitive skin around the catheter site, apply a barrier agent with a sterile wipe. 13. Apply a sterile aseptic dressing. 14. Secure the catheter using a sterile fixation bandage. 15. Dispose of used material into a container and bag for Class B waste. 16. Remove gloves and place them in a disinfectant container or waterproof bag/container for Class B waste. 17. Sanitize hands and dry them. Monitoring when caring for the catheter
1. After infusing sterile saline, inspect the catheter insertion site and the area adjacent to it.
Make sure there is no swelling or hyperemia. 2. Every 12 hours, inspect the catheter installation site to see if symptoms of phlebitis or inflammation have appeared. If the patient is receiving medications that irritate the vein, shorten the interval. 3. Assess the site of catheter insertion using the phlebitis scale (Appendix 3). 4.

What is central venous catheterization or central venous catheter?

A central venous catheter (CVC) is a long, flexible tube that is placed in the lumen of a large vein, fixed, and can be connected to an infusion system (drip) or syringe. This manipulation is called catheterization (catheter installation).

During the installation of such a catheter, puncture (injection) is carried out in special places - in the projection of deep-lying large veins, such as the subclavian (under the right or left collarbone), internal jugular (on the right or left side of the neck), femoral (in the groin on the right or left). These veins are not visible to the eye, they can be found by anatomical landmarks or seen using an ultrasound machine, therefore, only a doctor performs catheterization of the central veins. While a peripheral venous catheter is installed in the superficial, saphenous veins mainly of the upper extremities, which are visible to the eye. The placement of such a catheter can be carried out by a nurse.

Why is this necessary?

All venous catheters are widely used in medicine to administer drugs directly into the bloodstream, as well as to collect blood. The catheter can remain in place for several days while treatment is needed, which avoids numerous and painful punctures of the veins.

CVCs are designed for catheterization of large veins (subclavian, internal jugular, femoral).

Why catheterize large vessels?

Indications for CVC installation:

The main indication for placing a catheter in the central vein is emergency care. During resuscitation and intensive care of emergency conditions, when blood pressure decreases greatly (shock), the subcutaneous (peripheral) veins in the arms collapse, stop bulging even when a tourniquet is applied, and become invisible. Their puncture and catheterization is not possible. It is also impossible to administer vital medications. The central veins are larger, do not collapse, and blood flow in them is maintained. Therefore, central venous catheterization can be performed in a critical situation and save the patient's life.

In addition, the following indications exist for placing a central venous catheter:

  • Providing access to the bloodstream in severe patients undergoing long-term treatment in intensive care and intensive care settings;
  • For the administration of intravenous (parenteral) nutrition, if its entry through the gastrointestinal tract is impossible;
  • If there is a need for long-term administration of substances that irritate peripheral veins (adrenergic agonists, antiarrhythmics, during chemotherapy in cancer patients, etc.);
  • During planned and emergency operations, if massive blood loss and transfusion of large volumes of solutions and blood components are expected. Catheterization of a single peripheral vein is not enough;
  • If the peripheral veins in the arms cannot be catheterized (thin, poorly defined, thrombosed, etc., and treatment or surgery must be carried out;
  • For hemodialysis and hemofiltration;
  • Carrying out open heart surgery using a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (ACB);
  • Installation of a pacemaker;
  • Insertion of a probe into the chambers of the heart;
  • Conducting X-ray contrast studies of the cardiovascular system;
  • Measurement of central venous pressure (CVP), hemodynamic monitoring;

Contraindications:

There are several contraindications to central venous catheterization, which are relative, therefore, according to vital indications, a CVC will be installed in any case.

The main contraindications include:

  • Inflammatory processes at the injection site.
  • Blood clotting disorder.
  • Thrombosis of the vein in which the catheter is planned to be installed.
  • Clavicle injuries and bilateral pneumothorax (for subclavian access).

Complications during and after CVC installation:

  • Pneumothorax is the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity due to injury to the pleura.
  • Hemothorascus is an accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity.
  • Hydrothorax is the accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity, most often associated with the end of the catheter being in the pleural cavity.
  • Puncture of an artery (vertebral, carotid, subclavian) with bleeding and the appearance of a hematoma.
  • Puncture of lymphatic vessels.
  • Heart rhythm disturbance when advancing the catheter. Frequent ventricular premature beats or ventricular tachycardia may indicate that the tip of the catheter is directly on the tricuspid valve.
  • Incorrect direction of the CCV.
  • Nerve damage.
  • Catheter infection.
  • Vein thrombosis (during catheter placement) and pulmonary embolism.
  • Displacement of the subclavian catheter into the internal jugular vein.

It is believed that catheterization of the internal jugular vein is associated with fewer complications compared to catheterization of the subclavian vein. With the subclavian approach, there is a high risk of pneumothorax (damage to the pleura covering our lungs) and inadvertent injury to the subclavian arteries. At the same time, in some cases it is more convenient to use the subclavian approach, for example: in case of hypovolemia and low blood pressure in the patient, motor agitation, the presence of a tracheostomy, etc.

For central venous access, the right internal jugular vein or the right subclavian vein is most often used. This is due to the fact that the thoracic lymphatic duct passes on the left and may be inadvertently damaged during catheterization. And also through the internal left jugular vein there is an outflow of blood from the dominant hemisphere of the brain. And in the event of purulent or thrombotic complications, the neurological consequences for the patient may be more serious.

If accessed through the femoral vein after catheterization, the patient will be less mobile due to the bandage in the groin. There is an increased risk of thrombotic complications and catheter infection due to the proximity of the perineum. The advantages include easy entry into a large vein and the absence of vital organs nearby that could be unintentionally damaged. This is important in case of emergency care and is used as a backup option if it is impossible to perform central catheterization from another access.

The procedure is carried out in the following order:

  1. The patient lies on his back.
  2. The doctor disinfects his hands and puts on a sterile gown and gloves.
  3. Selecting a catheterization site and disinfecting the patient’s skin.
  4. Determination of the location of the vein based on anatomical characteristics or using ultrasound equipment.
  5. Carrying out local anesthesia at the catheter insertion site with lidocaine or novocaine.
  6. Venous puncture with a special needle under local anesthesia and ultrasound control and obtaining venous blood in a syringe.
  7. Passing the conductor through the needle into the vein.
  8. Direction of the catheter into the vein along the guidewire.
  9. Removing a conductor.
  10. Checking the operation of the catheter (taking blood into a syringe or connecting a dropper) and installing a plug cap at its end.
  11. Fixing the catheter on the skin with adhesive tape
  12. Applying an aseptic dressing to the catheter.
  13. Monitoring the patient's condition after the procedure. The appearance of new complaints, measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, auscultation of the lungs, X-ray monitoring of the position of the catheter and the condition of the lungs.

What can minimize complications?

  • The manipulation is performed by a doctor of appropriate qualifications (anesthesiologist-resuscitator, angio- and cardiac surgeon).
  • The doctor should examine and question the patient (if possible) before the procedure to identify contraindications. Also weigh the risk of possible complications and the benefits of the upcoming catheterization and choose the optimal place for catheterization.
  • Modern disposable sets for central vein catheterization have all the necessary tools. They are sterilized, hypoallergenic, pyrogen-free and packaged according to all the rules of asepsis at the factory, which prevents microorganisms from getting on the catheter and the patient. This helps the physician perform catheterization in as sterile an environment as possible.
  • To facilitate the search for a vein and reduce the risk of complications, ultrasound examination allows us to clarify the individual characteristics of the location of the patient’s venous trunks. Currently, central venous catheterization is increasingly being performed under ultrasound guidance, which makes the procedure less traumatic and painful, faster and safer.

Intravenous (venous) catheter

Vascular catheters are designed to provide access to central and peripheral veins.
These catheters should not be confused with cavity catheters, such as the Foley catheter, Nelaton catheter and others. Indications for placing a peripheral venous catheter.
1. Emergency administration of infusion solutions with the prospect of using the created venous access in the hospital. Most often this is done in the confines of an ambulance.

2. In the hospital, peripheral catheters are placed during long-term intravenous therapy.

3. Intravenous anesthesia during surgery.

4. Install a catheter for women in labor

5. Frequent collection of venous blood for tests.

6. Blood transfusion.

7. In case of parenteral (intravenous) nutrition of the patient.

8. Temporary measure before insertion of a central catheter.

Description of the peripheral venous catheter

Externally, they are a packaged disposable product for long-term intravenous infusions.

A – peripheral intravenous catheter with a port. B – peripheral intravenous catheter without port. A standard intravenous peripheral catheter consists of: - a polymer tube connected to a polymer cannula (1), - a metal needle tube connected to the cannula, - a polymer plug (2). — port (3) optional.

Classification of peripheral venous catheters

There are the following subtypes of intravenous catheters:

1. By the presence of an additional port.

- with port; - without port;

Peripheral catheter with an additional port.


There is a variant of an intravenous catheter with an additional port.
The port is located on top of the catheter. The catheter port allows bolus (quick) administration of medications or flushing of the catheter with heparin and saline. solution. Most modern peripheral catheters have an additional port. The port is closed with a plastic cap to ensure sterility Example of an intravenous peripheral catheter with an additional port

2. By the presence of wings:

— peripheral catheter with wings; - peripheral catheter without wings;

The wings may have holes for suturing to the patient's skin.

3. Based on the presence of a safe device at the peripheral catheter:

— peripheral catheters are safe;

- standard peripheral catheters

Peripheral catheters are safe.

Currently, peripheral safety catheters are becoming available from a number of manufacturers. Most of them implement a safe device due to the presence of a special capsule, or “bullet,” which, after catheterization, is automatically put on the needle. This eliminates the risk of needle injury to medical personnel. In this case, the technique for placing a peripheral safety catheter is no different from the standard technique. The price for peripheral safe catheters is significantly higher than for catheters that do not have such a device. You can buy a peripheral catheter

on our website.

4. According to the presence and number of X-ray stripes on the wings of the catheter:

  • without x-ray contrast stripes;
  • 2 stripes;
  • 4 stripes;
  • 6 stripes.

5. Intravenous catheters sizes by color

In accordance with GOST ISO 10555-5-2012, the sizes of catheters are determined. The size of the peripheral catheter is determined by the gauge. Intravenous catheters differ in color. For convenience, each peripheral catheter size is color coded. This allows the medical professional to quickly select the appropriate catheter size for a specific procedure. The table below shows intravenous catheters with sizes by color. Each tube outer diameter has a specific color code.

This table is not identical to GOST R ISO 6009-2013.


You can select and buy an intravenous catheter in our catalog. Delivery is carried out throughout the Russian Federation by SDEK. To the catalogue.

6. Needle butterfly

It is a special type of peripheral catheter. The butterfly needle is a needle integrated with wings with a tube. The length of the butterfly needle tube differs depending on the model. Unlike the classic peripheral catheter, the butterfly needle is intended for short-term insertion. Also suitable for blood collection. One of the key advantages of the butterfly needle is the small diameter of the needle. Butterfly needles are placed for no more than 24 hours.

Scope of application of butterfly needle:

1. Resuscitation and gerontology for patients with “collapsed” veins

2. Neonatology (maternity hospitals and specialized departments of hospitals). Designed for administration and collection of blood to newborns and young children.

3. Blood collection from severe patients.

Safe butterfly needles

There are butterfly needles with a safety device, this is the so-called safety butterfly needle

After the infusion is carried out using a safe butterfly needle, the medical staff removes the needle from the vein and presses a special button on the body of the safe butterfly needle. As a result, the needle goes into a special cylinder, eliminating the risk of infection of personnel. Safe butterfly needles are most in demand when working with urgent patients and with known infected patients

GOST catheters

The main GOST for catheters is GOST ISO 10555-5-2012. This guest describes:

  • catheter structure;
  • catheter color coding;
