Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Short Peripheral Venous Catheter
Interventions
Device: short peripheral venous catheter
Registration Number
NCT03290573
Lead Sponsor
The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University
Brief Summary

Up to 90% of catheters fail before therapy is complete. Improved dwell time of intravenous catheters for even small increments of time would further reduce the number of insertions, staff workloads, and costs. In this study, the investigators investigated whether short peripheral venous catheter site of insertion influence the dwell time.
