About this study

The sample of the study consists of children who aged 0-17. It is planned to collect the research data in Akdeniz University Hospital Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Outpatient Clinic. Data Collection Tools are 'Personal Information Form for Children', 'Catheterization Description Form' and 'The Difficult Intravenous Access (DIVA) Score for children '. DIVA Score will be used pre-intervention to determine whether patients have a difficult vein. Children with DIVA score of 4 and above will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. The attempt to place an IV catheter in children in the intervention group will be carried out by "pushing with saline" (SF) technique. In this way, it is predicted that the success of IV intervention in difficult vascular access will increase and the number of attempts will decrease significantly. Peripheral catheter placement in the control group will be performed with the traditional method routinely implemented by nurses.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • The child who ages of 0-17.
  • The child's need for peripheral IV catheter placement for treatment.
  • A score of 4 or higher on the Difficult Intravenous Access Score for Children

Exclusion criteria

  • None.

Treatment and study plan

Pushing with saline technique

Other

Peripheral venous catheter placement by pushing with saline technique

Traditional method

Other

Peripheral venous catheter placement with the traditional method by nurses in the clinic routinely.

Primary outcomes

  1. Catheterization Description Form

    Time frame: Immediately after the procedure.

    The form contains the catheter information regarding the children. It includes 7 questions including the time elapsed since the last vascular access, causes of catheter removal complications (infiltration, vascular damage, etc.), IV catheter location, IV catheter size (number), and peripheral vein where the catheter was placed. Primary endpoint of the study is Catheterization Description Form.
