Peripheral Internal Jugular Vein ('Peripheral IJ') Access in Patients Identified as Difficult Intravenous Access
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Difficult IV Access
In brief
The primary aim of this study is to determine if the insertion of a peripheral Internal Jugular (IJ) catheter is faster than a standard of care intravenous (IV)access in patients with difficult access. The secondary aims of this study examine patient discomfort between standard IV insertion vs. peripheral IV insertion as well as a comparison of complication rates between the two methods of insertion. Support for the peripheral IV procedure could provide an option for the thousands of Emergency Department (ED) patients who daily encounter the situation of difficult IV access and the numerous needle pokes that accompany it. Using this procedure may result in greater patient satisfaction and reduced complication rates.
