Clinical Trial Summary

A clinical trial comparing two groups of patients that are randomized into one group having SafeBreak Vascular attached to their peripheral IV lines and a second control group that receives the current standard of care (no SafeBreak Vascular) to determine SafeBreak Vascular's impact on IV clinical care and complications.


Description:

This randomized clinical trial's goal is to determine SafeBreak Vascular's impact, a break-away connector that separates when a harmful force is placed on a peripheral IV line, on IV clinical care and complications.

Intervention

Device:
SafeBreak Vascular
SafeBreak Vascular is a breakaway connector that screws into peripheral IV lines using luer connectors on each end. The device is designed to separate when a harmful force is placed on an IV line. Upon separation, valves on each side of the device close. On the patient side of the device, the valve closes to prevent the loss of blood and on the IV pump side of the device, the valve closes to stop the flow of medication. The valve closing on the IV pump side of the line causes the pump's occlusion alarm to sound and notify nurses that the IV needs attention. The nurse is able to throw away the separated SafeBreak Vascular, install a new SafeBreak, and restart the patient's infusion without the negative cascade of events that can occur when a peripheral IV fails.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Delay in Therapy A comparison in delays in therapy between the control group and the intervention group. Patients evaluated at every IV check from time of enrollment to time of discontinuation of IV therapy or up to 7 days, whichever occurs first
Secondary Estimate the Impact for Other Peripheral IV Complications. A comparison in IV complications (dislodgement, infiltration, and phlebitis VIP =2 or greater) requiring IV restart between the control group and the intervention group. Patients evaluated at every IV check from time of enrollment to time of discontinuation of IV therapy or up to 7 days, whichever occurs first
