Title: Superior Venous Access, Midline vs Ultrasound IVs: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief Summary: Obtaining intravenous access (IVA) is the most common procedure performed in the emergency department (ED). Placement of IVA allows for blood work and delivery of intravenous fluids and medications. The implementation of ultrasound guided peripheral IVs (UGPIV) have allowed for ultrasound to be used to place an IV into patients with difficult vein access (DVA). An alternative device to place is a midline catheter (MC). The use of MCs against UGPIV has not been compared in a randomized study. Aim 1: To determine if UGPIVs have a higher failure rate than midline catheters within 72 hours of placement. Aim 2: To collect information to perform a direct cost analysis of UGPIV against that of the midline catheter. Aim 3: Assess patient satisfaction.
