Vein identification technology

peripheral iv

“New, evidence-based technologies can improve venous access for phlebotomy and I.V. insertion, especially in patients with difficult I.V. access” Kaganovskaya et al (2023).

Extended dwell peripheral IV catheters in neonates

peripheral iv

“EPIV catheters may be an appropriate alternative device to PIV catheters due to fewer placement attempts, longer dwell times, and overall fewer complications during use” Marchetti et al (2023).

Medical student IV cannulation skills – Full Text

peripheral iv

“A single, short refresher seems to have a limited effect on intravenous-cannulation skills in first-year medical students. Less resource-intensive interventions, such as written instructions or mental imagery, are effective compared with hands-on part-task trainer simulation for refreshing this simple but important skill” Berger-Estilita et al (2022).

Peripheral IV catheter fracture

peripheral iv

“Emergency physicians and nurses should be vigilant about potential risk factors that can cause fracture of an intravenous cannula” Woo et al (2022).

Peripheral intravenous catheter management – Full Text

peripheral iv

“This article reviews the evidence for the appropriate use of short PIVCs in hospitalized patients, assesses the ongoing need for PIVCs, provides recommendations for alternative options, and argues for promptly removing a PIVC that is no longer in use” Ray-Barruel and Alexander (2023).

Pediatric peripheral intravenous access pathway

peripheral iv

“Using PPIVA Pathway shall improve the provision of atraumatic care for children, as the success rate of pediatric peripheral intravenous access on the first attempt is high” Öntürk et al (2022).

Vessel palpation skill for cannulation – Full Text

peripheral iv

“This study aims to objectively quantify the differences between high performer (HP), mid performer (MP), and low performer (LP) behavior towards understanding vascular palpation skills” Petersen et al (2022).

Intravenous cannulation by radiographers – Full Text

peripheral iv

Intravenous cannulation by radiographers Abstract: Background: There has been a demand for radiographers in Zambia to perform intravenous (IV) cannulation and administration of contrast media, a role which, traditionally, was radiologists’. This demand is due to a shortage of radiologists and an increase in demand for imaging examinations. This review aimed at synthesising relevant literature […]

Peripheral IV catheter complications in newborns – Full Text

peripheral iv

“Peripheral intravenous catheters (PICs) are necessary for medication, nutrient, and fluid administration in pediatric patients. However, PICs are uneasy to access and maintain in young infants. This study identified risk factors affecting the complications and patency of PICs” Tseng et al (2022).

Integrated versus nonintegrated peripheral IV catheter – Full Text

peripheral iv

“PIVC failure is common and complex. Significant risk factors include sex, infection at baseline, care setting, insertion site, catheter gauge, and catheter type. Integrated PIVCs can significantly reduce the burden of PIVC failure on patients and the health system” Rickard et al (2022).

Ultrasound guided IV insertion – Full Text

peripheral iv

“The best current evidence indicates that US-guided method for SPC insertion is postulated as a valid alternative for both adult and pediatric population, especially in patients with difficult venous access and in hospital departments where optimal vascular access in the shortest time possible is critical” Berlanga-Macías et al (2022).

Peripheral intravenous catheter outcomes

peripheral iv

“To determine the incidence and risk factors for adverse events using a transparent bordered dressing for securement in the dorsum of the hand or cubital fossa in consecutive patients hospitalized in an internal medicine department” Shimoni et al (2022).

Peripheral IV insertion competence

peripheral iv

“The objective of this study was to implement an evidence-based practice project to improve peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion confidence and competence and to improve first-attempt success” Jacobs (2022).

New peripheral IV catheter design

peripheral iv

“We aimed to design a new PIVC that reduces the early failure rate of in-dwelling PIVCs and we conducted preliminary tests to assess its efficacy and safety in a porcine model of intravenous access” Doyle et al (2022).
