Introduction
The project will analyze how does the use of antiseptic barrier caps compare with the use of manual alcohol swabs in the prevention of central line infections in adult hospitalized students.
Overview of the Problem
Assignment Describe Educational Theoretical Framework
The microorganisms aim to access a central venous catheter through the catheter hub which should be appropriately disinfected in order to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). But, compliance with the manual disinfection process is very time-consuming. Therefore, antiseptic barrier cap is used as an alternative to this problem to prevent central line infections.
Project purpose statement
Spotlight on the use of antiseptic barrier caps as compared with the use of manual alcohol swabs in the prevention of central line infections in adult hospitalized students.
Background and significance
“Reducing to zero” the rate of central-line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are needed optimizing to catheter insertion as well as to maintaining the catheters. One currently invented approach to decrease CLABSI rates is the use of catheter-port antiseptic barrier caps which contain an antiseptic-impregnated sponge to disinfect the port hub during placement and thereafter physically covers the hub. The investigators have conducted a multiphase prospective trial in order to assess the efficacy of antiseptic barrier caps in reducing rates of CLABSIs and blood culture contamination in a single tertiary-care cancer center. Therefore, the use of an antiseptic barrier caps for intravenous catheter ports aims to reduce rates of central-line–associated bloodstream infections in a high-risk cancer unit.
Literature Review
According to the current study, the catheter hub should be appropriately disinfected to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) (Blood diseases and conditions – sepsis, 2017). The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Sophia Children’s University Hospital, “However, compliance with the time-consuming manual disinfection process is low. An alternative is the use of an antiseptic barrier cap, which cleans the catheter hub by continuous passive disinfection. To compare the effects of antiseptic barrier cap use and manual disinfection on the incidence of CLABSIs. Systematic review and meta-analysis.
The primary outcome, reduction in CLABSIs per 1000 catheter-days, expressed as an incidence rate ratio (IRR) was analysed with a random effects meta-analysis. The studies were included if that are conducted in a hospital setting or used antiseptic barrier caps on hubs of central lines with access to the bloodstream and reported the number of CLABSIs per 1000 catheter-days when using the barrier cap and when using manual disinfection.
According to the study (Blood diseases and conditions – sepsis, 2017), a total of 1537 articles were identified as potentially relevant and after exclusion of duplicates, 953 articles were screened based on title and abstract, 18 articles were read full text. Eventually, nine studies were included in the systematic review, and seven of these nine in the random effects meta analysis. The pooled IRR showed that use of the antiseptic.
Critical appraisal of Literature
The following quote has been received by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “The present invention relates to disinfectant caps for medical devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to disinfectant caps for luer access devices that provide direct contact with antiseptic fluid stored therein.
“Intravenous (IV) devices are widely used to administer fluids to patients, such as through the use of a catheter inserted into a patient. Usually, the catheter is connected to an injection site, such as a luer access device, which provides fluid communication from a fluid source (e.g., IV bag, syringe, etc.) to the patient. The connectors are frequently separated from each other (e.g., when a patient needs to use the bathroom), which exposes the connectors to the environment, which can result in contamination.” (Excelsior medical corporation, 2016)
“To reduce the risk of contamination, the connectors are usually disinfected between uses. Current procedures include swabbing the connectors with a disinfecting pad, which is prone to human error and not often implemented. Existing antiseptic caps utilize the corresponding female luer thread geometry to secure the capto the injection site. However without the additional tapered luer tip geometry, which secures these types of connections between syringes and injection sites, the antiseptic caps do not securely fit on the injection site, and are prone to falling off inadvertently.”
In addition to the background information obtained for this patent application, VerticalNews journalists also obtained the inventors’ summary information for this patent application: “The present invention relates to disinfectant caps and packaging for use with a medical device (e.g., connector, luer access device, etc.). The disinfectant caps apply the antiseptic fluid (e.g., disinfectant) directly onto the surface of the medical device. The disinfectant caps incorporate specific thread geometry to provide a secure fit to threaded access sites. Assignment: Describe Educational Theoretical Framework.

If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to.
I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.
Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.
If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.
Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.
Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.
I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
