Varied flushing frequency and volume to prevent peripheral intravenous catheter failure: a pilot, factorial randomised controlled trial in adult medical-surgical hospital patients

BACKGROUND: Research has identified high failure rates of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) and varied flushing practices. METHODS: This is a single-centre, pilot, non-masked, factorial randomised controlled trial. Participants were adults, with a PIVC of expected use ≥24 hours (n = 160), admit...
