Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Peripheral IV Access Success Rate	Peripheral IV access success rate is defined as the number of subjects who had successful peripheral intravenous cannulation on the first attempt. An attempt was defined as a needle penetrating the surface of the subject's skin. Successful access was defined as good flow through an IV catheter with a saline flush and without subcutaneous fluid collection.	baseline
Secondary	Total Number of Peripheral IV Access Attempts	The total number of peripheral IV access attempts for each subject., up to a maximum of four attempts. An attempt is defined as a needle penetrating the subject's skin surface.	baseline
Secondary	Total Number of Distinct Providers That Attempted IV Access	Total number of individual medical providers that attempt to access IV for each subject. An attempt is defined as a needle penetrating the surface of the subject's skin. Access was defined as good flow through an IV catheter with a saline flush and without subcutaneous fluid collection.	baseline
Secondary	Rate of Rescue Techniques Used	The number of subjects requiring one or more rescue techniques to access peripheral IV. These techniques include ultrasound guided peripheral IV access, central venous access, venous cut-down, interosseous access, and/or change in treatment plan due to unsuccessful access.	baseline
