In June, RNAO published the Vascular Access, Second Edition BPG. This latest edition provides nurses and interprofessional teams with evidence-based recommendations and resources related to the insertion, assessment and maintenance of vascular access devices in the infant, pediatric and adult populations. This BPG combines two previous BPGs: Assessment and Device Selection for Vascular Access (released in 2004) and Care and Maintenance to Reduce Vascular Access Complications (released in 2005). The BPG’s expert panel was led by co-chair Dr. Nancy Moureau, chief executive officer of PICC Excellence, and Darlene Murray, interprofessional education specialist at SickKids. The Canadian Vascular Access Association (CVAA) and the Infection Prevention Society (UK) have endorsed this guideline. “I’m so proud of our expert panel and RNAO staff – Amy Burt and Christine Buchanan (guideline development leads) and others – who made this BPG possible. It is so important that we continue to provide nurses and other health professionals with the most up-to-date evidence-based practice so they can improve patient health outcomes,” says RNAO CEO and founder of the BPG program, Dr. Doris Grinspun.
