Peripheral intravenous catheterization outcomes in Portugal
“This reality, combined with Portugal’s absence of government-endorsed evidence-based standards for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion and treatment and vascular access teams, may explain the country’s unacceptably high incidence of PIVC-related complications reported over the last decade” Santos-Costa et al (2023).
