Abstract | Aim: This study will evaluate the most effective peripheral intravenous catheter securement in paediatric emergency departments to reduce catheter failure, healthcare costs, patient distress, and improve satisfaction. Design: A multisite, three-arm, parallel, superiority, randomized controlled trial of 506 children requiring peripheral intravenous catheter in the emergency department. The trial will be reported following CONSORT guidelines, is registered on the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12619001026112) and ethics is approved via Children’s Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/19/ QCHQ/45567). Methods: Staff screen patients, six months to eight years old, requiring peripheral intravenous catheters and inpatient stay of more than 24 hours. Written informed consent is obtained from the legal guardian with 1:1:1 randomization ratio allocation: Discussion: Most hospitalized children require a peripheral intravenous catheter, although persistent high rates of failure are recognized as a patient safety concern. The outcomes of this trial will directly inform clinical care for peripheral intravenous catheter securement in children in emergency departments. |
