Using a scoring system to improve success in placing venous lines
Impact of Implementing the Modified A-DIVA Scale on Successful Access to a Venous Line on the First Attempt
This study is testing a new scoring system to help nurses successfully place IV lines on the first try, making the experience easier and less painful for patients.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Modified A-DIVA Scale in predicting the success of peripheral venous access on the first attempt. By training registered nurses to use this scale, the study aims to reduce the number of failed attempts at venous line placement, which can cause pain and anxiety for patients. The research will analyze the correlation between the venous status score and the success rate of venous access procedures. The ultimate goal is to enhance patient care by improving the success rate of these common medical procedures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients requiring peripheral venous access who are fluent in French and affiliated with a social security scheme.
Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit include those without an upper limb or with conditions contraindicating venous access in the upper limbs, as well as emergency patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce patient discomfort and anxiety associated with multiple venous access attempts.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using predictive scoring systems for medical procedures, suggesting potential success for this approach.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female patient of legal age included in a care program requiring a VVP; * Fluency in French * Patient affiliated to a social security scheme; * Written, signed and dated informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * As the A-DIVA scale specifies a search for venous access to the upper limb, any patient without an upper limb or with a condition that contraindicates VVP placement in the upper limbs will be excluded; * Patients treated as emergencies; * Patients with a language barrier or known significant cognitive or psychiatric disorders; * Patients under guardianship, curatorship, deprivation of liberty or legal protection; * Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
