Assessment of healthcare providers’ knowledge and decision-making patterns in peripheral intravenous catheter management in acute care settings
This anonymous survey of hospitalists and acute care nurses evaluated awareness of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) presence and decision-making regarding PIVC insertion, maintenance, and removal. Nurses were most aware of PIVC presence and regarded as best to make decisions about PIVC, yet <50% of respondents felt nurses should remove PIVC without an order.
