Ultrasound evaluation of peripheral intravenous catheter thrombus formation associated with intravenous flucloxacillin administration: A prospective observational pilot study [PDF]
Purpose The purpose of this study was to sonographically evaluate whether intravenous (IV) flucloxacillin administration was associated with an increased risk of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) thrombus formation. Methods This observational study

Bridging Theory and Practice in Emergency Nursing: A Discussion Paper on Peripheral intravenous catheter Management Using Tanner's and Chinn & Kramer's Models [PDF]
Introduction Nursing management of peripheral intravenous catheters remains suboptimal and often lacks integration with underpinning theory. Therefore, it is essential to reflect on the persistent gap between theory and practice to enhance patients ...

Can the rigid stylet from an intravenous catheter be an alternative vascular access device for intraosseous catheterisation? [PDF]
Background It may be challenging for practitioners to secure vascular access in animals, especially in a state of shock. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the clinical relevance of commercial 16‐gauge intravenous (IV) catheter stylet vs.
