NCT06312215

Brief Summary

The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental research to examine the effects of open and closed system peripheral catheters on the success of insertion, duration of stay, and development of complications in children aged 1-18 years in pediatric services. The population of the study consisted of children admitted to the Pediatric Services of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, and the sample included a total of N=80 children who met the sample criteria and underwent catheter insertion between May 2023 and October 2023. The sample was divided into two groups: closed system peripheral venous catheter group (n=40) and open system peripheral venous catheter group (n=40). The data of the study were collected using a Data Collection Form, Peripheral Venous Catheter Monitoring Form, Visual Infusion Phlebitis Detection Scale, and Pediatric Peripheral Intravenous Infiltration Scale

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Patient Identification Form

    he Patient Identification Form has been prepared by reviewing relevant literature. It consists of 27 questions, encompassing patient-specific information and catheter characteristics.

    1 day

  • Daily Monitoring Form

    his form, comprised of 8 questions, has been designed to monitor patients on a daily basis, covering aspects such as catheter day, fluids administered, phlebitis score, infiltration score, skin characteristics, and signs of infection. Nurses used the Daily Monitoring Form to observe and record patient conditions on a daily basis.

    1 day

  • Visual Infusion Phlebitis Assessment Scale, Staging Key - Peripheral IV'sVIPAS

    Developed by Alyce Schultze and Paulette Gallant, this scale was published by the Infusion Nurses Society in 2011 for the purpose of grading phlebitis. The scale involves observing the possible risks of the catheter during the administration of treatment through a peripheral intravenous catheter. It also includes grading the symptoms of phlebitis at each stage if phlebitis develops. The content validity index value of the scale was found to be 0.97

    1 day

  • Pediatric peripheral intravenous infiltration assessment tool

    Pediatric peripheral intravenous infiltration assessment tool: Developed by Simona and evaluated for its psychometric properties, the Pediatric Peripheral Intravenous Infiltration Scale has undergone Turkish validity and reliability assessments by Temizsoy et al. (2017) and is suitable for use in newborns. Cohen kappa value of the scale was 0.80 (p\<0.001) and Pearson correlation coefficient was r=0.95 (p\<0.001). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.966, which shows that the level of infitration increases as the stages increase in the evaluation made in five stages.

Study Arms (2)

Closed System Peripheral Catheters

EXPERIMENTAL

After the area where the catheter would be inserted was cleaned with an antiseptic solution and allowed to dry, a closed-system catheter was applied. Closed-system catheters are devices that allow access through needleless mechanisms, protecting the patient from accidental needle puncture injuries. They have mechanisms preventing blood leakage or pathogen entry.

Other: Closed-system catheter

Control

NO INTERVENTION

After the area where the catheter would be inserted was cleaned with an antiseptic solution and allowed to dry, a catheter was applied.
