Evaluation of Blood Sampling From a Pre-existed Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Line
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Background: Peripheral Intravenous catheter (PIVC) is a frequently used device for intravascular access. It is usually indicated to administer intravenous fluid and medications. However, the investigators could possibly utilize this line for blood sampling even after using it as a fluid port.

Detailed Description
Aims: To investigate the quality of previously flushed PIVC sample and the effectiveness of the withdrawal technique.
Methodology: Study will be held in King Fahad University Hospital during a year after obtaining the IRB approval. Selection of study participants will be depending on their health status and the investigators will exclude pediatric participants. Two blood samples will be collected from participants. First one is after the insertion of the intravenous peripheral line. The second is after fluid infusion through the same line. Samples will be sent to the laboratory then. Results will be collected and analyzed.
The importance of the research: If this type of sampling can be standardized , this means there will be less insertions to the patients, less adverse effects in relation to the number of insertions, fast and preexisted intravascular access for sampling so the time can be saved in critical conditions.

Experimental: Normal saline Study will be held in King Fahad University Hospital during a year after obtaining the IRB approval. Selection of study participants will be depending on their health status and the investigators will exclude pediatric participants. Two blood samples will be collected from participants. First one is after the insertion of the intravenous peripheral line. The second is after fluid infusion through the same line. Samples will be sent to the laboratory then. Results will be collected and analyzed. |
Drug: Normal saline
participant will be given 500 ml normal saline through intravenous access. blood sample will be extracted before and after giving normal saline using same intravenous catheter

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Paired ttest [1 year]
Paired ttest to detect if there is any significant differences in blood gas results before and after intervention (normal saline), where the same individuals are measured before and after the intervention.
