The aim of this observational study is to investigate the complications associated with peripheral venous catheterization based on whether a correct or incorrect catheter was used according to a clinical algorithm in patients admitted to an acute care unit. The main question it seeks to answer is:
• Are there fewer complications associated with catheterization when a correct catheter choice is made? Data from patients admitted to the acute care units of the sponsoring study center will be reviewed.

IPD (without personal identification data) could be shared by requirement from other researchers after the end of the study, and only for research purposes and previous approval of promotor center of the study (CSAPG). Anyway, Spanish and European Union legal policy about data protection will strictly be followed (IPD will not be transferred outside European Union).
After publication of main results of the study.
IPD will be shared only for scientific research purposes and following the Spanish and European Union normative law about data protection. The requirements will be directed to the IP of the study. The IP will evaluate the request to verify and evaluate the data that is requested and the purposes for which it is requested. Next, the IP will transfer the request to the promotor center the study for the final decision.
