The D.I.P.P.E.R. Study (Dislodgement, Infiltration, Phlebitis Prevention Eliminating PIV Restarts): A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating a Novel Force-Activated Separation Device (FASD)
Key objectives:
• Understand and describe the process by which mechanical forces on peripheral intravenous (PIV) tubing can cause dressing disruption and catheter manipulation that precipitate mechanical IV catheter complications.
• Demonstrate an understanding of how a Force-Activated Separation Device (FASD) is installed in a PIV line, the process for replacing a FASD, and how a FASD functions.
• Interpret and discuss randomized, controlled trial data results that detail the impact that a FASD can have on mechanical PIV complication rates and delays in therapy.
