Can super glue keep Kids' IVs from falling out?
NCT ID NCT07450729
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether applying a special skin glue (cyanoacrylate) around the IV site can keep the catheter in place better than the usual clear bandage alone. About 300 children visiting the emergency room who need an IV for at least 24 hours will be randomly assigned to get either the glue plus bandage or just the bandage. The main goal is to see if the glue reduces accidental IV dislodgement and related complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cyanoacrylate skin glue
What this could lead to
If it works, this could reduce the need for repeated needle sticks in children by keeping IVs in place longer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in one hospital, so results may not apply everywhere. The glue could cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
