Ultrasound evaluation of peripheral intravenous catheter thrombus formation associated with intravenous flucloxacillin administration: A prospective observational pilot study
It was feasible to identify and measure PIVC thrombus sonographically. Ultrasound showed that IV flucloxacillin administration appeared to be associated with more frequent formation of PIVC thrombus, with these increasing in length over time. Further research is required to confirm these findings in larger studies and to identify any clinical implications of the findings.
