Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare upper arm versus forearm Extended Dwell Catheter (EDC) placement for blood sampling functionality. EDC is an alternative to peripheral Intravenous (IVs) especially during prolonged hospital stays. EDCs are generally placed using ultrasound for guidance and are commonly placed in any of 3 veins in the arm. They can be inserted above or below the antecubital fossa (the bend of the elbow). These catheters can be left for up to 30 days and don't fail as quickly when compared to peripheral IVs.

Conditions

  • IV Catheter-Related Infection or Complication
  • Vascular Access Complication
  • Peripheral Venous Access

DEVICE

Extended dwell catheters

EDCs are generally placed using ultrasound for guidance and are commonly placed in any of 3 veins in the arm. They can be inserted above or below the antecubital fossa (the bend of your elbow). These catheters can be left for up to 30 days and don't fail as quickly when compared to peripheral IVs.
