Antecubital IVs are uncomfortable and risky . Given staph aureus bacteremia comes with a 20% 30-day mortality, everything we can do to mitigate this risk helps! Stay away from “just-in-case” IV catheters.

BIG!!: PIVs: AC site = high-risk for S.A. bacteremia esp Emergently placed. (OR ~12). Risk soars ≥4 days to 50x risk. Prefer forearm/hand. Remove early if possible. Make a Nsg Policy. Know where your lines are. @UAMSInfDisease @ryankdare @uamshealth @UAMS #MedEd #InfectionPrevention
