Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Patient Satisfaction with Procedure [Immediately after procedure/Baseline]
Score describes a patient's satisfaction with a healthcare decision. It measures satisfaction across 6 domains via 6 questions scored on a 5 point scale. Score ranges from 6 to 30. A low score signifies dissatisfaction, a high score signifies high satisfaction.
- Patient Satisfaction with Procedure [At 48 Hours Post Baseline]
Score describes a patient's satisfaction with a healthcare decision. It measures satisfaction across 6 domains via 6 questions scored on a 5 point scale. Score ranges from 6 to 30. A low score signifies dissatisfaction, a high score signifies high satisfaction.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of needle punctures in a 24 hour period (patient reported) [up to 48 hours]
- Duration of Successful Access [up to 48 hours]
IV/Cath dwell time in hours
- Number of Needle Sticks [up to 48 hours]
Prior to gaining successful access
- Number of Insertion Attempts [up to 48 hours]
For ultrasound guided access
- Emergency Department (ED) Length of Stay [up to 48 hours]
in hours
- Hospital Length of Stay [up to 48 hours]
in hours
- Patient Satisfaction [immediately post intervention/baseline and at 48 hours past baseline]
this is a single question measuring satisfaction with the intervention overall on a Likert Scale 1-10,
- Number of Insertion Related Complications [up to 48 hours]
Includes failed attempts, arterial punctures, infiltrations, hematoma formations
- Number of Dwell Related Complications [up to 48 hours]

- Time to Access [up to 24 hours]
minutes from procedure start to procedure completion
