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 new training program for nurses and anesthesiologists to improve how they care for intravenous (IV) lines—the tubes inserted into veins to deliver medicine or fluids. Better IV line care can reduce infections and complications for patients.
This trial tests a monitoring system designed to catch early signs of phlebitis, infiltration, and extravasation in people receiving IV medications. It may help prevent these painful complications.
This study tests a simple scoring system (called A-DIVA) used at hospital admission to predict if it will be hard to place an IV line. The goal is to help protect your veins and make IV placement easier.
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.
This trial is testing how well a midline catheter works for people who need one for the first time. It will help doctors understand if this type of IV line is a good option for delivering medication or fluids.
This trial tests whether a small, portable ultrasound device works as well as a standard ultrasound machine to help nurses insert a peripheral IV line in patients whose veins are hard to find or access. It could lead to fewer needle sticks and less discomfort.
