Tourniquet as a potential carrier of infection : A general literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Stasband är en medicinteknisk utrustning som används regelbundet vid intravenösa nålprocedurer, i syfte att minska det venösa återflödet. Stasband har beskrivits i tidigare forskning som en potentiell smittkälla. Syfte: Att belysa vårdhygieniska arbetsmoment och rutiner vid hantering av stasband vid intravenös nålprocedur. Metod: Studien utfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie baserat på sju resultatartiklar av kvantitativ och mixad metod. Resultatartiklarna granskades, analyserades och sammanställdes genom en innehållsanalys. Resultatet sammanfattades i fyra huvudkategorier. Resultat: Studiens resultat presenterades i följande huvudkategorier: Stasband som smittkälla, Rengöring av stasband, Val av stasband påverkar kontaminationen, Betydelsen av kunskap, rutiner och riktlinjer. Litteraturstudiens resultat visade att kunskap, rutiner och riktlinjer för hantering av stasband är av stor betydelse för patientsäkerheten. Konklusion: Sjuksköterskans kunskap och fortsatt utbildning är av betydelse för att medvetet arbeta preventivt mot smittspridning. Sjuksköterskan har ett ansvar för patientsäkerheten och ska uppmärksamma vårdgivaren om brister förefaller. Infektionsförebyggande arbete är ett delat ansvar mellan sjuksköterskan och vårdgivaren.

Abstract [en]

Background: A tourniquet is a medical device regularly used in intravenous needle procedures, with the aim of reducing venous return. Tourniquet has been described in previous research as a potential source of infection. Aim: To shed light on hygienic working steps and routines when handling tourniquet during intravenous needle procedures. Method: The study was conducted as a general literature study based on seven results articles of quantitative and mixed methods. The results articles were reviewed, analyzed and compiled through a content analysis. The results were summarized in four main categories. Result: The results of the study were presented in the following main categories: Tourniquets as a source of infection, Cleaning of tourniquets, Selection of tourniquets affects contamination, Importance of knowledge, routines and guidelines. The results of the literature study showed that knowledge, routines and guidelines for the handling of tourniquets are of great importance for patient safety. Conclusion: The nurse´s knowledge and continuing education are important for consciously working preventively against the spread of infection. The nurse has a responsibility for patient safety and must alert the care provider if deficiencies appear. Infection prevention work is a shared responsibility between the nurse and the care provider.
