Developing a Research base for Intravenous Peripheral catheter dwell times

Variables influencing intravenous catheter insertion difficulty and failure: an analysis of 339 intravenous catheter insertions.

BACKGROUND Inserting an intravenous catheter (IV) is one of the most frequently performed invasive procedures by nurses. Little research has been conducted on ways to reduce the difficulty and failure, and enhance the ease and success, of IV insertion. We conducted this study to determine variables associated with IV insertion difficulty, failure, and success, and to learn special techniques nu...
