IV catheter use study in children in the ER
This study looks at how IV catheters work in children who come to the emergency room and need an IV for at least 24 hours. It will help doctors understand the best ways to use and care for IVs in kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 0 and 18 years old

This trial compares two ways to place a midline catheter (a type of IV line) in children to see which works better. If your child needs long-term IV access during or after surgery, this study may help find the safest and most effective method.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound to guide IV placement helps children who are known to have hard-to-find veins. It aims to make the process quicker and less painful.
This study tests whether a soft, stretchy tubular bandage wrapped around the IV site can help the IV last longer and prevent fluid from leaking into the skin. It is for children aged 6-12 who need a specific IV fluid for the first time in their forearm.
This study tests a new way to place an IV (a tiny tube into a vein) in children aged 6 to 12. It may help make the experience more comfortable for your child.
This trial compares two different lengths of IV catheters placed with ultrasound help for cancer patients in the emergency room who have hard-to-find veins. The goal is to see which catheter length works best and lasts longer during a hospital stay.
This study tests whether a special camera that uses near-infrared light can help nurses place an IV more easily in children. If your child needs an IV and is treated at Brno University Hospital, this device might make the process smoother and less painful.
