Purpose of this study is to see if a Peripheral Intravenous Catheter PIVC will last longer if inserted by a Registered Nurse (RN) who specializes in inserting PIVCs. Main question it aims to answer:
1. We believe that the use of the ultrasound, an RN who specializes in PIVC placement with the use of ultrasound and the use of best of class medical technology, may improve first stick success with PIVC insertion and the length of time the PIVC stays in place without showing any related complications
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent, patients will be randomized using Research Randomizer. At that time, the IV Therapist will insert a PIVC using standard of care medical equipment (control) or use ultrasound guidance, if needed, to insert a PIVC using the bundle with the best of class medical devices. Daily, a research RN will round, assess the site and take a picture. When therapy is complete or the PIVC malfunctions, the research RN will document the reason why the PIVC failed and that patient will no longer remain in the study.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bundled | Device | An peripheral intravenous catheter will be inserted by an RN specially trained in PIVC placement, with or without ultrasound. Using best of class medical products, will evaluate dwell time and complications of the PIVC inserted using a bundled approach versus one inserted with the bundle |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PIVC Per Patient Stay | To compare the proportion of patients for whom the initial catheter insertion is sufficient for their duration of care across the two groups | 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Dwell Time | To compare dwell times between the 2 groups. Dwell time is defined as the time from line insertion to line removal. | 1 year |
| Cost Impact | To compare cost with additional PIVC's inserted if PIVC failed to make it until the end of therapy |
