Blood Sampling Through Peripheral Venous Catheter in Infants

NCT01119911 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2012-03-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We hypothesize that peripheral venous catheter used for fluid administration can replace venipuncture blood sampling for selected basic analytes and thus reduce pain in infants under 2 years of age.

Conditions

OTHER

Blood sampling from peripheral venous catheter.

Venipuncture is performed on the opposite limb of the peripheral venous catheter. Within 3 minutes, a second sample is taken from existing peripheral venous catheter used for fluid administration. Intravenous fluids are then stopped for 30 seconds and a tourniquet applied proximal to the device for another 30 seconds. A 2-mL syringe is attached and 0.5 mL of blood aspirated and discarded. Thereafter, 2 mL blood is slowly drawn during about 15 seconds, into a different 2-mL syringe, to allow a gentle pumping action that may reduce vacuum in the syringe and thus hemolysis rates. Afterwards, the intravenous device is flushed with 2 mL normal saline and infusion restarted.
