“Unused short peripheral catheters are still quite frequent. While specific clinical needs justified some unused short peripheral catheters, a proportion remained unexplained and potentially avoidable” Canzan et al (2024).
How to deal with pain during peripheral intravenous cannula placement in children
“In children aged 6-9 years planned to undergo peripheral intravenous cannula placement, watching a cartoon, one of the distraction techniques, can be recommended to effectively reduce pain and fear of pain. Tablets that allow watching cartoons and films, which are widely used and accessible in the clinical field, can facilitate the use of distraction techniques” Uysal et al (2024).
Care and maintenance of peripheral IV cannula – Full Text
“Findings showed that poor peripheral intravenous cannulation practice and care which was predicted by work experience, existence of guidelines, and training. As a result, Nurses and midwifes must keep up to speed with focused in-service training, access, and/or follow thorough protocol guidelines for the management of peripheral intravenous cannulation” Kefale et al (2024).
