An Innovative Taping Technique for Improved Intravenous (IV) Catheter Securement
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Novel Taping Method, BCH Emergency Department Taping Method, and 1 other intervention for Dislodged Catheter and Catheter Related Complication. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized study to assess the ability of taping methods used to secure intravenous (IV) catheters to resist the IV from being pulled away from the skin. Participants will have IV catheters taped on top of the skin (without insertion into the skin) using three taping methods, BCH Emergency Department (BCH ED), Chevron, and our novel method. Six measurements will be obtained per subject (3 random taping methods measuring their resistance to force in two directions, retrograde direction or towards the wrist and 90-degree angle to the arm).
