NCT ID NCT06518187

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether the way a catheter is pushed off the needle during IV insertion changes how much the needle tip moves. 80 people with IV experience inserted catheters into a simulator using three techniques: one-handed, two-handed, or with a helper. The goal was to find which method causes the least needle movement, which could make IV insertions safer and more comfortable.
