TOPIC: From clinical trial to clinical practice: Implementing tissue adhesive in your hospital

Speakers: Amanda Ullman PhD, RN, Tricia Kleidon PhD, MNSc, RN

Date/Time: July 10, 2024 at 7:00 pm Eastern for the LIVE webinar or July 11, 2024 at 2:00 pm for the recording. 

The evidence that supports the use of tissue adhesive in vascular access practice is continually expanding. Recent trials have shown that tissue adhesive is not only superior, but also compatible with vulnerable patient groups, without causing an increase in healthcare costs. In this webinar, we will analyze these clinical trials and discuss how their results can be effectively applied to your day-to-day clinical practice. Furthermore, we will explain how the new performance and cost data can be utilized to encourage the prioritization of tissue adhesive implementation in your hospital by your purchasers and healthcare executives.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Describe the variable chemical composition and clinical utility of current tissue adhesive choices
2. Explore the clinical performance of tissue adhesive for vascular access devices in recent clinical trials.
3. Highlight the cost performance of tissue adhesive, in comparison to alternative products for every day vascular access practice.
4. Provide practical advice on how tissue adhesive can be economically and sustainably implemented in your hospitals’ vascular access care.
