Evaluating the Role of the Guidewire in Peripheral Intravenous Access: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Ultrasound-Guided Catheter Survival

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This is a prospective, parallel, non-blinded, two-arm randomized controlled trial of intravenous catheter failure evaluating the impact of a built-in guide wire. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the control ultralong intravenous catheter (IV) without the guide wire is non-inferior to the experimental catheter with the guide wire. After obtaining consent, eligible patients will be randomly allocated to control Arm 1 (ultralong intravenous catheter) or experimental Arm 2 (ultralong intravenous catheter with guide wire) in a ratio of 1:1 via a computer-generated randomization schedule. The participants will be followed to collect data until the catheter is removed.
