Ultra-Long Peripheral Catheter Versus Accelerated Seldinger Technique Long Peripheral Catheter in Difficult IV Access Patients
Sponsor: University Ghent
Summary
The aim of this study is to perform a comparative analysis of clinical outcomes associated with the use of an ultra-long peripheral catheter using (catheter-over-the-needle technique) versus an AST-long peripheral catheter in adult patients with difficult intravenous access (DIVA) in a real-world clinical setting. Specifically, the study will assess potential benefits, including longer mean catheter dwell time and improved catheter usability, as well as potential harms, such as increased incidence of catheter-related thrombosis, infections, phlebitis, infiltration, and unplanned catheter removal.
