Abstract
Obtaining peripheral intravenous access is one of the pillars of contemporary healthcare (Chopra et al., 2015). However, the insertion/maintenance of a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) is not risk-free and there is evidence of recurrent local and systemic complications in up to 90% of the devices (Alexandrou et al., 2018).
