Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Peripheral IV Access Success Rate
Peripheral IV access success rate is defined as the number of subjects who had successful peripheral intravenous cannulation on the first attempt. An attempt was defined as a needle penetrating the surface of the subject's skin. Successful access was defined as good flow through an IV catheter with a saline flush and without subcutaneous fluid collection.
