A SmartTouch sensor that detects extravasation and IV infiltration in patients with peripheral intravenous catheters. The device can provide audio and visual warnings to clinicians that a problem has been detected (Megadget 2020).]]> 2023-01-28 14:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459815841 g178c688 https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459816136

Early Detection

Device can detect as small as 0.2 mL of fluid infiltration

Improved patient safety

Audio and Visual notification system

Individual disposable sensor

Nurse satisfaction

Possible reduction of central line placement due to more PIV insertions for caustic infusions that now can be monitored closer for infiltration (which in return would reduce CLABSI infection risk)

- User Error
- Cost of equipment, maintenance, and upkeep of equipment
- Additional sensor to be placed on skin that, in Neonates, is fragile and prone for skin breakdown
- May not be appropriate for micro-preemie due to immaturity of skin
- how often will the device need to be rotated in order to prevent skin breakdown, could cause disruption in sleep patterns of neonates.]]> 2023-01-28 14:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459819912 g178c688 https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459826506 2023-01-28 14:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459826506 g178c688 https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459837163 Information about the ivWatch was gathered from Medgadget.com and a current ongoing study from Queensland Children's Hospital in Brisbane Australia. The current study being conducted at Queensland Children's Hospital is utilizing the ivWatch within a 36 bed PICU with patient population of neonates to 17 year old pediatric patients (McBride et al., 2022).

As a NICU RN it is critical task to complete a minimal  hourly  check on PIV's within the NICU population. Fluids that contain TPN and/or lipids are very caustic to veins and if infiltration occurs it can cause severe burns, pain, and tissue damage to the neonatal skin.

With this strength my independence to lead and desire to surround myself with likeminded team members will be essential in making this project successful. This strength will allow me to take charge of the project and encourage others to excel.]]> 2023-01-28 15:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459847092 g178c688 https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2459848281 TEAM MEMBERS:

1 - Alice - Achiever (Executing):
Achiever as the top strength will assure that things get done. She has the drive that is needed for implementation of new products and assimilating them into a culture that is driven by Type A personalities. 

2 - Carter - Communication (Influencing):

Carter's ability to communicate with others and focus on each team member individually will prove useful when educating about the product. When implementation or troubleshooting issues arise it will take Carter's communication abilities to focus team members and get them to buy into change

3 - Faith - Futuristic (Strategic Thinking)
 
Products that are new, innovative, and no longer "that is how it is always done" require a futuristic thinker to promote advancement and change. Faith will be able to help team members see the relevance of the product and the implications the product will have on our patient population.

4 - David - Deliberative (Executing)

New products come with road obstacles  and troubleshooting, David is the team member who can best assist Faith in trying to navigate both. David will be the go to person for finding solutions.

5 - Emily - Empathy (Relationship building)

This is the person that is essential for my specific team. I have no strengths within the category of relationship building. Due to this , I need someone like Emily who is strong in Empathy and will be able to maintain primary focus on the babies and their families. Emily is needed to remember the person first and foremost; not just a "product" focus.

The fact that it can detect 0.2 mL of extracellular fluid under the skin is remarkable. Studies in the United States are needed before the product can be mainstreamed into NICU's. The current study being conducted in Queensland Children's Hospital will provide essential data to support the safe use of the product (Craig et al., 2022).
One concern for the use of the ivWatch in the neonatal population is Medgaget reported an average detection volume of 2.02 mL (Medgaget 2020). In addition, this product might not be appropriate for micro preemies or infant's under 2 kg; continued research and parameters are needed.]]> 2023-01-28 23:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/g178c688/vianm4idcor2m5rx/wish/2460033370
