IV Contrast Administration: Effect of Three Side Hole Infusion Catheter on CT Image Quality, Infusion Pressure, and Infusion Rates, Compared to a Standard Infusion Catheter
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Becton Dickinson Nexiva Diffusics System and Standard intravenous catheter for Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) Scanning. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to compare two types of catheters used for infusing the contrast dye necessary for viewing internal organs during computed tomography (CT) scanning. The standard catheter, which has one hole from which contrast dye enters veins, will be compared to the Becton Dickinson Nexiva Diffusics System catheter, which has three holes for diffusing dye into veins. The purpose of this study is to determine which catheter type gives the best image.

Timeline
Interventions
Becton Dickinson Nexiva Diffusics System will be used to inject IV contrast and will be compared to a single hole catheter to see if it improves image quality in the main vessels in the abdomen and pelvis because of its novel design.
Standard catheter with one hole at the tip will be compared to a novel 3 hole catheter to see which catheter provides the best image quality.
