One Million Global (OMG) Peripheral Intravenous Catheters- Have You Heard About These?

This presentation will provide the latest research on peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) from the Alliance for Vascular Access Teaching and Research (AVATAR) Group in Australia. A brief overview of the One Million Global (OMG) Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Study, including a pediatric subgroup analysis, will be provided. The development and implementation of a PIVC bundle of care for both adult and pediatric patients, including both insertion and maintenance components will be described. Observational studies and various randomized control trials that were undertaken to reduce PIVC failure will also be discussed. This session will conclude with a summary of the current PIVC failure rate and potential future research.

Learning Outcomes:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to describe the latest research on PIVC.
