Bilateral Fistulas Patient Case

Today’s Vascular Wellness Voice features a Wellness Wednesday case that took place in a Skilled Nursing Facility where the patient needed a vascular access device placed for IV antibiotic therapy. The facility contacted Vascular Wellness to place a PICC line. However, during a thorough examination of the patient and the medical records prior to the procedure, the vascular access expert discovered that the patient had bilateral fistulas for hemodialysis, making the prescribed PICC line contraindicated.

Bilateral Fistulas with Vascular Access - Nurse Clinicians in Action patient case

Our clinicians spend all time necessary to perform a comprehensive medical history review to ensure the clinically appropriate line before sticking, as well as to answer all questions about the procedure and care and maintenance. We work with the medical team and offer recommendations based on the medical history review and treatment plan, and such recommendations are often accepted by the treating doctors.
