What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the effect of using a tubular bandage on the duration of peripheral intravenous catheter use and the occurrence of infiltration in children aged 6 to 12 years receiving intravenous fluids. Peripheral intravenous catheters are common in pediatric care for administering medications and fluids, but complications like infiltration, where fluid leaks into surrounding tissues, are frequent. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to address issues with catheter fixation unique to active pediatric patients and to assess whether tubular bandages can improve outcomes. Children in the experimental group will have a tubular bandage applied over their routinely placed peripheral intravenous catheter, while the control group will receive standard catheter care without the bandage. The catheter is placed in the middle part of the forearm and used to deliver specific intravenous fluids including 5% dextrose, 0.45% sodium chloride, and 75% potassium chloride. Randomization is done using a method involving colored balls to assign children to either group. The trial will monitor how long the catheter stays functional and the frequency of infiltration events. Participants will be assessed using a pediatric peripheral infusion scale and data collection forms over approximately one year. Researchers will track catheter use duration and infiltration incidence, along with skin integrity and any adverse reactions. The study includes regular monitoring and documentation by clinical staff to evaluate the safety and practical effects of tubular bandage application on catheter care in this pediatric population.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Treatment

Duration - Duration of peripheral intravenous catheter use (varies per participant)

Participants receive a peripheral intravenous catheter; some receive a tubular bandage applied over the catheter while others receive routine catheter care without the bandage. The duration of catheter use and frequency of infiltration are monitored.

Visits as needed during catheter use for monitoring

Long-term Monitoring

Duration - About 1 year

Participants are followed up to collect information on catheter infiltration using the pediatric peripheral infiltration scale for about a year.

Periodic follow-up visits
