Does a dedicated nurse-led intravenous cannulation team improve first-time cannulation success rates in hospital patients?
A dedicated nurse-led IV cannulation team can improve first-time insertion success and reduce manpower issues for medical personnel.
Carr et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Peripheral intravenous cannulation. Nurse-led intravenous cannulation team was evaluated on First-time cannulation success. A nurse-led intravenous cannulation team demonstrated a constantly increasing percentage of first-time cannulation success over five months, effectively reducing insertion rate attempts.
