New care bundle slashes IV complications in kids at ER
NCT ID NCT07649499
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a care bundle—a set of steps including nurse training, hand washing, and special cleaning solutions—to prevent IV-related problems like swelling and vein inflammation in children. Researchers compared 200 kids in the emergency department who either got the care bundle or standard care. The goal was to see if the bundle reduces these complications and improves first-attempt success.
