Phlebitis Prevention in Peripheral IV Catheters

The target sample size in this study was 1825 catheters and was calculated as follows: the phlebitis occurrence was 5% of PIVCs according to our pilot study (unpublished), which was reported at the 44th annual meeting of the Society of Japanese Intensive Care Medicine, and the estimated 95% confidence interval (CI) was 3–6%.
Patient characteristics, catheter characteristics, and primary and secondary outcomes were presented as mean with standard deviation (SD) or median with interquartile range (IQR) for continuous variables and percentages for categorical variables. Proportion, time to event, and incidence rate of outcomes were presented as each effect size with two-tailed 95% CIs calculated using the Wilson score interval and Poisson distribution. Analyses were performed using JMP V.10.0 and SAS version 9.4 (SAS Inc, Cary, NC).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
