We're liking them a lot. Some of the nurses are not sure about
changing the PICC dressing with nothing holding it, they are going
to try the tape on the tubing thing. They seem to be working well
on the jugulars - one patient who had both said that the smaller
one was much more comfortable. One lady with a PICC said she was
much more comfortable without the StatLoc.
We'll write up some
evaluations, and see what we should do. One concern I have is
having to have multiple dressing kits - PICC, CVP, mediport.
There's always so much waste when you open the wrong one and
keeping 3 in stock seems a pain. We could eliminate the dressing
itself from the kit, and open the appropriate dressing
separately…an extra step, but then so is opening a new StatLoc for
PICC.
