Safe infusion study for patients with IV lines
This trial tests a device or method to make IV infusions safer for patients who need fluids or medications through a tube in a vein. It's for adults who already have or will get an IV line for treatments lasting at least 15 minutes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You must have or be getting an IV line for ongoing or occasional infusions (like fluids or medicines given over 15 minutes or longer)
- Your IV line must not already have signs of infection, swelling, or blockage when you join the study
- You must be able to understand the local language and give your consent (or have a legal representative who can)
- You must not be pregnant
- You must not be receiving end-of-life (palliative) care

This study tests a set of best practices to help nurses and anesthesiologists manage IV lines more safely, which may reduce infections and other complications.
This study tests a simple scoring tool that helps doctors figure out which patients might be hard to start an IV on, so they can protect the veins for future needs. If you are an adult coming into the hospital, using this tool may help preserve your veins and improve your care.
This study compares two ways to place an IV (a small tube that gives you medicine or fluids through a vein). One method uses ultrasound to find the best vein, the other uses the traditional method. It aims to see if ultrasound helps make IV placement easier and more successful.
This trial tests a handheld device called AccuVein that uses a light to help nurses see your veins better, making it easier to start an IV. If you often have trouble getting IVs, this study could help make the process less painful.
This study compares two ways of placing a longer IV line in patients whose veins are hard to find. If you have difficult IV access, it may help your care team choose the best method for you.
This trial tests a new scoring method called A-DIVA to help nurses find a vein on the first try when starting an IV (VVP). It may reduce multiple needle sticks and improve comfort.
