Ultrasound-guided Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement in an Oncologic Emergency Department - a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial of Catheter Lengths

Oncologic Complications and Emergencies Clinical Trial

Official title: Ultrasound-guided Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement in an Oncologic Emergency Department - a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial of Catheter Lengths

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To learn about the effects of the length of the catheter on the failure and success rate of USIV placement.

Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objectives:

• The rate of catheter failure, defined as removal of the catheter for any reason other than "Care Complete" (i.e. a composite of removal due to "infiltration," "leaking," "catheter damage," "occlusion"), by day 10.

Secondary Objectives:

1. Time from catheter placement to removal (i.e. survival or dwell time).

2. Per catheter length rate of failure analysis

3. Rate of repeat catheterization

4. Rate of infection

5. Rate of thrombosis ;
