Abstract
Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion is the most frequently used method for intravenous (IV) treatment in pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the Intravenous Infiltration Management Program on the success of PIVC insertion and infiltration in infants. The study was carried out using a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control groups and included 750 PIVC procedures for 218 infants between 28 days and 12 months of age. The program decreased the number of PIVC insertions per patient, although it was not statistically significant (P = .076) and had an impact on the success of the PIVC attempt (P < .001), first PIVC attempt (P < .001), PIVC dwell time, and early detection of infiltration (P < .001). The program is effective in the success of the PIVC insertion process and early detection of infiltration.
