Evaluating the effectiveness of guidewire in intravenous catheter placement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a randomized controlled trial that aims to compare the effectiveness of two types of ultralong intravenous catheters: one with a built-in guide wire and one without. A total of 360 participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned to either the control group or the experimental group. The study will assess catheter failure rates and other insertion-related data, including clinician experience and patient characteristics. Participants will be monitored until the catheter is removed to gather comprehensive data on the performance of each catheter type.
