Factors associated with difficult intravenous access in the paediatric emergency department: A prospective cohort study
The present study identified multiple patient, proceduralist and situational factors that were associated with DIVA in the paediatric ED. Future studies should explore the development and implementation of a package to address DIVA in children, with the patient-centred goals of reducing pain and improving success.
