Official Title: An Innovative Taping Technique for Improved Intravenous (IV) Catheter Securement
Brief Summary:
This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized study to assess the ability of taping methods used to secure intravenous (IV) catheters to resist the IV from being pulled away from the skin.Participants will have IV catheters taped on top of the skin (without insertion into the skin) using three taping methods, BCH Emergency Department (BCH ED), Chevron, and our novel method.Six measurements will be obtained per subject (3 random taping methods measuring their resistance to force in two directions, retrograde…
