Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Securement With Tissue Adhesive Compared to Conventional Dressing: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Standard IV dressing and Standard IV dressing plus a tissue adhesive peripheral IV securement device for Vascular Access Devices. Completed, enrolled 350 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This clinical trial will compare survival of peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters for patients with a standard IV site dressing alone to patients with standard IV dressing plus Adhezion Biomedical SecurePortIV Catheter Securement Adhesive. Emergency room patients who already have IVs may be considered for inclusion. Eligible patients will be approached and, if they are interested in participating, their informed consent will be obtained. Participation will continue for up to 7 days. During this time, the patient will experience: * Assessment of their currently placed peripheral IV catheter, to assess if it is functioning * Assignment to one of two study groups (standard IV dressing or standard IV dressing plus Adhezion Biomedical SecurePortIV Catheter Securement Adhesive). This is called randomization and group assignment is by chance, like the flip of a coin * Daily assessment of the IV catheter and site for complications (such as infection or phlebitis), removal, and medications being administered.
