      Ultrasound-guided Long Peripheral IV Catheter (USG Long PIVC)

      A viable and favorable alternative to a standard long PIVC in difficult IV access patients

      Ultrasound-guided long peripheral IV catheters (PIVCs) provide more flexibility to choose veins for a short-term infusion therapy, last longer and support first-stick success.1,2

      Ultrasound catheter insertion

      Ultrasound-guided long PIVCs allow the access of deeper veins. This development is driven by the increasing number of difficult intravenous access (DIVA) patients. This patient group includes pediatrics, overweight or obese, elderly, chronically-ill (i.e. diabetics), and emergency/ acute (i.e. suffering from skin burn, hematoma, dehydration) patients in which superficial veins are not always suitable to gain peripheral vascular access.

      Ultrasound-guided long PIVCs are assumed to have a positive impact on reducing catheter dislodgements, infiltration and thus help to achieve longer indwell times.1
