NIVAS (The UK National Infusion and Vascular Access Society) claims that they can help reduce treatment delays, expenses, length of stay, infection and complication rates, while boosting patient experience, efficiency, quality of care and clinical outcomes.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>According to Professor Baudolino Mussa, Vascular Access Surgeon and Professor of Vascular Access at the University of Turin in Italy, vascular access needs vary country to country, even hospital to hospital, and the structure of a vascular access team should be tailor-made to each individual institution.<sup>2,3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>At the 2022 BD Multidisciplinary Advanced Course on Vascular Access (MACOVA), Professor Mussa presented two regional surveys that take a closer look into the challenges, benefits and needs of vascular access teams in Europe.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Local variation in the development of vascular access teams <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Based on a qualitative survey across six European countries, Professor Mussa and his colleagues found that the structures and functions of existing vascular access teams varied greatly.<sup>3 <\/sup>For example, not all respondents agreed that a vascular access team is a nursing-led programme, with some nurses only involved on a part-time basis.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>A second survey across the same six countries found more interesting variation. Certain countries were more advanced in the development of vascular access teams than others, and the implementation of a vascular access team depended greatly on the size and type of the institution.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is impossible to create a classic scheme that can be applied to every country,\u201d said Professor Mussa. This is why, he insisted, every country must design a vascular access team that fits their needs.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the survey: <a href=\"https:\/\/eu.bd.com\/iv-news\/scientific-publications\/the-state-of-vascular-access-teams-results-of-a-european-survey\/\"><strong>The state of vascular access teams: Results of a European survey<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gated_content\" id=\"gated_content-6425920f09cb6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"labelform notice-box margin-full\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-exclamation-triangle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBecome a VAMbassador to get access to the full article\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"loginwrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" method=\"post\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\"><\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input required type=\"email\" name=\"log\" placeholder=\"Email address\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" size=\"20\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\"><\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input required type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" placeholder=\"Password\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" size=\"20\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class='fa fa-eye showpwd'><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Login\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/eu.bd.com\/iv-news\/events-training\/development-of-a-vascular-access-team-one-size-does-not-fit-all\/#gated_content-6425920f09cb6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aa_error hide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/form>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='extralink'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"forgot\" href=\"https:\/\/eu.bd.com\/iv-news\/it\/password-persa\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tForgot your password?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"register\" href=\"https:\/\/eu.bd.com\/iv-news\/fr\/inscription\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot registered yet? <strong> Sign up <\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\" style=\"display:none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><iframe title=\"Development of a vascular access team: One size does not fit all\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YRhhCu3gQW0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Common barriers in developing a vascular access team<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Though the reality of vascular access teams differs throughout the region, Professor Mussa noted that all survey respondents faced similar challenges:<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lack of investment: <\/strong>Institutional budget silos and reimbursement issues in regions\/countries may starve vascular access team investment<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of awareness:<\/strong> Lack of healthcare professional awareness of the appropriate device, and lack of awareness of the complication consequences of choosing the wrong device or placing it inappropriately<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insufficient training: <\/strong>Of clinicians and nurses at medical\/nursing colleges, and insufficient regular refresher training for hospital staff<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inertia: <\/strong>Vascular access management can be taken for granted for its ubiquity.
