Share Researchers hope to save significant time, money and resources in Australian hospital wards, with findings from a new University of Queensland-led study. Professor Claire Rickard from UQ’s School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work said three days could be added to the life of infusion sets, while still preventing bloodstream infections in adults and children. “Almost all hospital patients have some form of intravenous device in their veins or arteries for medical treatment, but they can become infected which is a life-threatening complication,” Professor Rickard said. “Infusion sets, including plastic tubing, fluid bags and medications are currently replaced every four days to prevent bloodstream infections, but it requires substantial skilled nursing time and creates large amounts of plastic waste.
