Does longer peripheral intravenous catheter length optimise antimicrobial delivery? Protocol for the LEADER study
This study will investigate the use of long PIVCs to determine if they are more reliable at delivering antimicrobial therapy.METHODS: A two-arm, parallel randomised controlled trial of hospitalised adults requiring at least 3 days of peripherally compatible intravenous antimicrobials. Participants will be randomised to a short (<4 cm) or long (4.5-6.4 cm) PIVC. After interim analysis ( n=70) for feasibility and safety, 192 participants will be recruited.
