NCT ID NCT07184489
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special matching tool helps nurses pick the right IV device for children. About 394 nurses will use the tool and their choices will be compared to a group that doesn't use it. The goal is to see if the tool lowers mistakes and improves nurses' knowledge.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- implementation strategies (decision tree and matching tool)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable method to help nurses consistently choose the best IV device for each child, reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage implementation study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to other hospitals or settings, and the tool may not significantly change nurse behavior.
