Study reveals gentler hold helps kids get IVs on first try

NCT ID NCT07182994

Summary

This study tested two different ways to hold a child's arm still while a nurse places an IV in the emergency room. Researchers wanted to see which method helped nurses succeed on the first try, with fewer attempts and less pain for the child. They compared holding just the elbow joint versus a gentler arm restraint that didn't lock the elbow.
