- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome variable was defined as failed peripheral intravenous cannulation on the first attempt. Peripheral intravenous cannulation was defined successful, if the practitioner was able to inject a saline flush without signs of infiltration. We determined an attempt as one percutaneous needle puncture, regardless the amount of subcutaneous exploration from the single puncture site. After a failed attempt, a new attempt was stated to be any change in localizing a vein, followed by a new percutaneous puncture.
