Factors associated with peripheral intravenous cannulation first-time insertion success in the emergency department. A multicentre prospective cohort analysis of patient, clinician and product characteristics.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to identify the incidence of and factors associated with peripheral intravenous catheter/cannula (PIVC) first time insertion success (FTIS) in the emergency department (ED).

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

Two tertiary EDs in Western Australia.

Participants

879 ED patients.

Primary outcome

To identify factors affecting FTIS using univariate and multivariate logistic regression modelling. We created four models: patient factors only; clinician factors only; products and technology factors only and all factors model. We assessed each model's performance using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Results

A total of 1201 PIVCs were inserted in 879 patients. The mean age was 60.3 (SD 22) ye
