Infusion Site Injury Clinical Trial
Official title:
National, Cross-sectional, Multicenter Study to Estimate the Point Prevalence of Peripheral Intravenous Catheter-related Complications in Brazil: a Quality Improvement Study (PIVS)
A multi-center, national prevalence study where: (1) baseline SPIVC therapy complications of hospitalized adult patients that meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the study and (2) the compliance of clinicians to the Hospital's evidence based practice will be measured in Brazil.
At each participating research site, select nurse clinicians who are experienced or experts in short peripheral I.V. catheter (SPIVC) therapy, will audit medical records and observe the SPIVC sites of adult patients in various hospital wards until a minimum total of 300 SPIVC sites are audited among 3 Brazilian acute care hospitals. The wards audited will be selected by the Investigator and will be audited during a specified time period until at least 100 SPIVCs are audited. The time to complete the study will depend on the size of the select wards, the number of nurse auditors and the number of monitoring visits required. There are no treatments. The short peripheral I.V. catheter-related medical devices (products) observed during the study are currently approved by Brazil regulatory agencies, purchased by the hospital and available to the clinician at the time of the study. ;
