Investigating the Influence of Catheter Advancement Techniques on Needle Tip Movement During Intravenous Insertion

NCT06518187 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2026-01-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This proposed study aims to fill this gap by investigating whether needle tip movement during catheter advancement is affected by whether the individual performing the insertion pushes the catheter off the needle themselves or if it is done by another person.

Conditions

  • Health Care Utilization

Interventions

OTHER

Assessing the impact of three different catheter advancement techniques on needle tip movement during intravenous insertion

Each participant will perform 3 simulated IV catheter insertions using each of the specified techniques. Participants will use the instrumented 16ga IV catheter to insert into the peripheral vascular access simulator. Needle tip movement (from intent of catheter advancement to 5mm of advancement off the needle) will be measured with 0.2mm accuracy using the electromagnetic tracking technology of the simulator. Data collected will include needle movement after simulated vein punction and during initial catheter advancement off the needle (in mm) which will be recorded within the simulation program and output as a de-identified Excel file
