病人的中心靜脈導管 (CVAD) 置入部位發紅、發熱且有觸痛。護理師應首先採取哪項行動?
A client has a central venous access device (CVAD). The nurse notes the insertion site is red, warm, and tender to the touch. Which action should the nurse take first?
- ANotify the healthcare provider✓ 正解通知醫療保健提供者
- BFlush the line with heparinized saline以肝素化生理食鹽水沖洗導管
- CChange the dressing using sterile technique以無菌技術更換敷料
- DApply a cold compress to the site在置入部位應用冷敷
中心靜脈導管(Central Venous Access Device, CVAD)是臨床上常用於長期輸液、藥物注射或血液採樣的工具,但它也伴隨導管相關血流感染(Catheter-Associated Bloodstream Infection, CLABSI)的風險。置入部位的發紅、發熱和觸痛是感染的典型徵兆,提示可能存在局部或全身性感染。在這種情況下,護理師應將病人安全列為首要考量,立即評估感染的嚴重性並通知醫療團隊,以便及時採取診斷和治療措施,避免感染進一步惡化為敗血症。
Redness, warmth, and tenderness at a CVAD insertion site suggest a local infection that could progress to a systemic bloodstream infection. The nurse should notify the healthcare provider immediately for evaluation and treatment rather than manipulating the line or masking symptoms.
中心靜脈導管的照護標準和感染控制措施,在台灣和美國的臨床實踐中是高度標準化且一致的。兩地都極其重視預防導管相關血流感染(CLABSI),並將置入部位感染跡象的及時通報和處理列為護理師的重要職責。在導管感染的評估與處置流程上並無顯著差異。
