Simulation drills aim to sharpen Nurses' eye for IV complications
NCT ID NCT07514247
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether simulation-based training helps nursing students recognize when an IV catheter is leaking fluid into surrounding tissue (infiltration) and make better decisions. Ninety first-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to either standardized patient simulation, in situ simulation, or traditional teaching. Researchers will measure knowledge, decision-making skills, and student satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
simulation-based training (standardized patient and in situ simulation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that hands-on simulation training improves nursing students' ability to detect IV complications and make safer clinical decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage educational study with only 90 students. Results may not apply to all nursing programs or real-world settings.
