pubmed:abstractText |
Previous research has highlighted concern about infection rates in field-placed intravenous (IV) cannulae. In a study of IV placement by London Ambulance Service (LAS) paramedics, 17% of placements were judged to be inappropriate. Large variations in rates of IV placement between LAS paramedics were found. The authors' hypothesis was that placement of an IV carries disadvantages-pain, discomfort, distress, and infection-which may be unacceptable to patients.
