Efficacy of a Clinical Algorithm for the Selection of Peripheral Venous Catheters
- Conditions
- Catheter Related Complication
- Interventions
- Other: standardized algorithm
- Registration Number
- NCT06433739
- Lead Sponsor
- Consorci Sanitari de l'Alt Penedès i Garraf
- Brief Summary
The aim of this observational study is to investigate the complications associated with peripheral venous catheterization based on whether a correct or incorrect catheter was used according to a clinical algorithm in patients admitted to an acute care unit. The main question it seeks to answer is:
• Are there fewer complications associated with catheterization when a correct catheter choice is made? Data from patients admitted to the acute care units of the sponsoring study center will be reviewed.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Catheters removed due to complications associated with the use of a peripheral venous catheter Through study completion, an average of 1 year Percentage of catheters removed due to complications associated with the use of a peripheral venous catheter
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Complications associated with the use of a peripheral venous catheter Through study completion, an average of 1 year Number of complications associated with the use of a peripheral venous catheter depending on whether a correct or incorrect selection of the catheter was made according to the clinical algorithm.
Selection of the peripheral venous catheter Through study completion, an average of 1 year Correct or incorrect selection of the catheter according to the clinical algorithm. The proportion of correctly selected catheters in relation to the total number of catheters will be calculated.
