Trial Outcomes & Findings for Superior Venous Access, Midline vs Ultrasound IVs (NCT NCT03440944)

NCT ID: NCT03440944

Last Updated: 2021-04-29

Results Overview

Total number and percentage of device failures within 72 hours of placement based on midline and ultrasound guided peripheral IV catheter. Medical record review and in person visits with medical treatment teams and patients were used to assess if device failure occurred within 72 hours. Device failure was determined by needing to have any device replaced or removed for clinical care.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 72 hours after device placement

Population: Patients who completed therapy within 72 hours were considered non-failure

Total number and percentage of device failures within 72 hours of placement based on midline and ultrasound guided peripheral IV catheter. Medical record review and in person visits with medical treatment teams and patients were used to assess if device failure occurred within 72 hours. Device failure was determined by needing to have any device replaced or removed for clinical care.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 72 hours after catheter insertion

Population: Patients who stayed for 72 hours, preference to have midline over ultrasound guided peripheral IV catheter. Patients discharged prior to 72 hours of therapy are not included in the reported results. For the Midline Catheter arm only 3 participants stayed at least 72 hours; 5 participants did not complete the satisfaction survey.

Participant experience and satisfaction will be assessed with a short survey that will be given to participants who stay at least 72 hours after catheter insertion.
