Accepted but Unacceptable

Abstract: Peripheral intravenous (IV) catheter insertion, the most common invasive hospital procedure performed worldwide, is associated with a variety of complications and an unacceptably high overall failure rate of 35% to 50% in even the best of hands. Catheter failure is costly to patients, caregivers, and the health care system. Although advances have been made, analysis of the mechanisms underlying the persistent high rate of peripheral IV failure reveals opportunities for improvement.

“…Improper injections can result in 21–50% change in SUV measurements [1, 2]. A recent summary of findings from six prospective, randomized controlled studies evaluating peripheral IV catheter infiltration rates found a mean incidence of 23.9% [3]. In the few published studies measuring infiltration rates in PET, tracer infiltration occurs in 10–21% of clinical exams [2, 4, 5].…”
