Abstract
Peripheral Venous Catheters (PVC) are an essential component in modern healthcare, with approximately a third of all UK and US inpatients having at least one device inserted during their hospital stay [1,3]. Peripheral venous cannulation carries a number of risks to both patient and health care staff, resulting in additional workload and increased costs [4,5]. A 2015 study reported that 59% of patients worldwide had at least one PVC in situ during an international prevalence study involving 14 countries [6]. It is estimated that up to 80% of patients require at least one PVC to be inserted during their hospital stay [7]. ISSN: 2641-2020 DOI: 10.33552/APPR.2019.01.000524
