Infusion monitoring to prevent IV complications
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are getting medicine through a peripheral IV (a small tube in your arm or hand)
- You can speak
- You are awake and conscious

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 study helps pediatric nurses learn better ways to prevent and manage problems when IV lines (tubes that go into veins) accidentally leak fluid into surrounding tissue. Your experience and feedback could improve patient safety and nursing practices.
This study tests whether gentle massage and tapping on your arm near the IV site can lower the chance of irritation (phlebitis) from the IV. If you qualify, you would do simple hand and arm motions for a short time each day while you have the IV.
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.
This study tests a small, wireless device that sticks to the skin near an IV to monitor the site during and after an infusion treatment. It may help detect problems early and is designed for people receiving infusions lasting at least 30 minutes.
This study tests a new sensor to detect when IV fluids leak into the tissue (infiltration). It is only for healthy adults, because the goal is to see if the sensor works correctly in a controlled group before testing in patients.
