Embark on your journey to master Pediatric PICC Insertions with our course today!
Becoming skilled in pediatric PICC insertions takes time, especially when it comes to children and infants. That is why we designed the Pediatric/Neonatal Insertion Training class. Whether you are a nurse or a physician, this class will equip you with the knowledge and techniques needed to confidently perform pediatric PICC insertions. Our experienced instructor will discuss real-life examples and address practice issues, providing you with a better understanding of PICC procedures and increasing your success rates. This clinically-based class is designed to qualify you for supervised pediatric PICC insertions.
While general for all pediatric patients, specific class information includes:
• Growth and development
• Venous anatomy
• Site selection
• Use of pre-medications
• Insertion techniques
• Complications with intervention
• Tips and tricks for the use of child life to provide distraction therapy that reduces movement
The program includes an actual insertion of a neonate and an infant.
About the Additional Component of the Pediatric PICC Training: There is no specific required number of supervised insertions; we recommend a minimum of five. Perform as many supervised insertions as necessary until the inserter and the supervisor feel comfortable with the inserters abilities.
The program consists of 4 sections and a 50 question post test. Practicum competencies are included. You will need a preceptor or supervisor to check off your competency. The program includes a manual which can be downloaded for future reference. Successful completion of the post-test with a score of 80% or higher is necessary to receive continuing education credits for this program.
The Steps: • Successfully complete this course and the course post test.
• Print your continuing education certificate to use as proof of successful completion of a Pediatric PICC Training program.
• Begin your supervised, simulated insertion.
• Followed by supervised insertions on patients to the point of competency, comfort and confidence.
