Implementation frameworks, strategies and outcomes in optimizing central venous access device practice in paediatrics: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Paediatric patients with complex or acute conditions may require a central venous access device, however, almost one-third of these devices have associated complications (e.g. infections). Implementation of evidence-based practices regarding central venous access devices can reduce and potentially prevent complications.

Aims

This scoping review aimed to explore recent interventional research in CVAD management through an implementation lens.

Design

This scoping review used the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Studies were included if they were written in English, published in 2012 to July 2023, involved children and were relevant to the study aims. Risk of bias was appraised by the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.

Data sources

Searches were undertaken in EMBASE, CINAHL (Ebs
