IV catheter showdown: which type stays put longer in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT07182877
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compared two types of IV catheters—closed and open—in 100 patients in a respiratory intensive care unit. The goal was to see which type stays functional longer without complications like thrombophlebitis. Researchers measured dwell time and catheter-related issues to find out if closed catheters offer an advantage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If closed-type catheters last longer, hospitals may adopt them to reduce IV line changes and complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 100 patients, so results may not apply to all ICUs. The difference in dwell time may be small or not clinically meaningful.
