Improving IV Line Safety and Care for Patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a registered nurse or anesthesiologist (a doctor who manages anesthesia during surgery)
- You work at or are affiliated with Sahlgrenska University Hospital or a participating healthcare facility
- You are willing to participate in training on standardized IV line care procedures
- You can commit to the study timeline for implementation and evaluation

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 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 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 teaches first-year nursing students how to spot when an IV (intravenous) line has infiltrated—meaning fluid is leaking into surrounding tissue instead of going into the vein. You'll practice with realistic patient scenarios and hands-on simulations to build this important safety skill.
This study tests an algorithm (a step-by-step decision tool) to help healthcare teams manage peripheral IV lines. It may help reduce problems like failed IV access and improve how IV lines are handled over time.
This trial tests a tool designed to help hospitals put new practices into action. Nurses who have worked at a participating hospital for at least a year and can perform IV-related procedures independently may be able to join.
