NCT07589010 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 192

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Splints are often used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to immobilize the limb and stabilize the catheter, theoretically reducing complications by minimizing movement at the catheter site. Unfortunately, not much local data exist on the effectiveness of splints for peripheral intravenous line securement (PIVC). This study aimed to compare the dwell time of PIVCs with and without splints in neonates admitted to the NICU.
