2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A clinical trial comparing two groups of patients that are randomized into one group having SafeBreak Vascular attached to their peripheral IV lines and a second control group that receives the current standard of care (no SafeBreak Vascular) to determine SafeBreak Vascular's impact on IV clinical care and complications.
The purpose of this study is to compare upper arm versus forearm Extended Dwell Catheter (EDC) placement for blood sampling functionality. EDC is an alternative to peripheral Intravenous (IVs) especially during prolonged hospital stays. EDCs are generally placed using ultrasound for guidance and are commonly placed in any of 3 veins in the arm. They can be inserted above or below the antecubital fossa (the bend of the elbow). These catheters can be left for up to 30 days and don't fail as quickly when compared to peripheral IVs.
