Interventions
Catheter Caps Case (C3)
The nursing team will then assess the participant's catheter, catheter site, and lumens. The C3 device will be placed on the distal lumens and hub caps of the participant's hemodialysis catheter using clean technique and left in place for approximately 15 minutes. During this time, the participant will be asked to lay, sit, and stand while wearing the C3 device. The RN will stay with the participant during the entire time and will write down any comments or requests regarding the C3 made by the participant. After 15 minutes, the nursing team will remove the C3 device and reassess the condition of the catheter site and lumens, noting any changes. Finally, the participant will complete a 10 item post- intervention survey, developed by the study team and evaluated for face validity by all members of the team to provide feedback on the design of the C3 device.
