VADIOR: Advantages of Pre-operative Positioning of Peripherally Inserted Vascular Accesses in DIVA Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

pre-operative positioning of peripherally inserted vascular accesses devices such as midline or minimidline: pre-operative positioning of peripherally inserted vascular accesses devices such as midline or minimidline ultrasound guided by dedicated vascular access team

Study summary

Our goal is to demonstrate how a standardized approach that involves the pre-operative implantation of the venous access devices in the DIVA patients (EA-DIVA score\> or =8), scheduled for orthopedic surgery, impacts both the intra- and post-operative safety of the patient and the economic savings of our institute. The latter would be achieved both through a reduction in operating room costs and in terms of recovery of operating room hours

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• OPERATING ROOM TIME SAVING — one year
  Estimate of operating room time savings, calculated as hours/year recovered, otherwise used for intra-operative positioning of such devices and/or emergency invasive devices
