Peripheral IV access for ED patients with septic shock – Full Text
“Importantly, even with these reassuringly low rates of serious complications from peripheral vasopressors, this same meta-analysis also discovered that there were fewer complications (extravasation and thrombosis) in studies reporting infusion safety guidelines” Waxman and Schechter-Perkins (2024).
Peripheral cannula-related infection prevention – Full Text
“The finding of this study revealed that nearly half of the nurses had poor knowledge and practice in intravenous cannula-related infection prevention.
