Abstract :

Session Description: The next generation in effective vein access will provide S.T.E.M. analyzed, evidence-based techniques in locating, dilating, grading and accessing veins that significantly reduce pain, vein damage and bruising. Expert faculty will outline the unique procedures for IV placement, blood draws, injections and other vein access activities that eliminate complications and provide proven results that are predictable, repeatable and successful. Learning Objective 1 Identify the advanced anatomy and physiology of the vein and the impact on effective vein access. Define a healthy vein vs. unhealthy vein to utilize a new palpitation technique to discern a preferred access location. Explain the 21st Century method for collecting blood and infusing biologics: the next generation. Translation of Gray\?s Anatomy, Starling\?s Venous Physiology (Starling\?s Equilibrium), Newton\?s Gravity Physics, Leonardo da Vinci\?s Friction Physics, and Gaussian\?s Probability. Leaning Objective 2 Address the appropriate dilation of a vein, without the use of a tourniquet, that applies the latest evidence-based skills, the 21Cva method. Discuss the future of research-to-practice techniques and accompanying biomedical advances in efficient vein access. Learning Objective 3 Explain an innovative process of grading a vein that reduces vein wall rupture upon venipuncture, infiltration and the multiple stick event. Demonstrate the new 21cVA palpate to locate technique. In conclusion, we will discuss the 21POC (21st century point-of-care) and the new infant/heel stick and identify changes to the current technique that can modify the outcome of the lab results as well as potential tendon damage to the heel.
