Intravenous (IV) catheter placement is the most common medical procedure in emergency department settings. IVs are used to deliver medications, fluids and blood products to patients. At the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, approximately three-quarters of children admitted to hospital have an IV inserted while they are in the emergency department. However, a challenge associated with IVs is that they sometimes stop working or fall out before treatment has been completed (this is known as IV failure). When IVs fail, a new IV often needs to be placed. Children rank IV placement as one of the leading causes of pain in the hospital setting. The investigators are interested in understanding whether there are strategies that can help keep IVs in place longer for children admitted to hospital.
Previous studies investigating whether certain types of bandages over IV sites are helpful in keeping IVs in longer found all bandages performed about the same. However, a recent study of adult patients showed that using medical-grade skin glue to secure the IV significantly reduced IV failure rates when compared to usual care. There have been no similar studies in children. The objective of this study is to understand whether placement of skin glue at IV insertion sites is effective in decreasing IV failure rates in children. This study will take place in the emergency department at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Consenting children will be randomly assigned to receive IV placement either with or without skin glue (one drop at the IV insertion site and another drop under the hub of the catheter), along with otherwise standard securement with a transparent dressing. The investigators will look at the numbers of children in each group whose IVs fail before their intended treatment course is complete. This study has the potential to improve patient and family satisfaction, decrease nursing workload and reduce healthcare costs.

Experimental: Skin Glue
Patients in the intervention group will receive standard peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) securement (with cloth-bordered transparent polyurethane dressing (Tegaderm® I.V. Advanced) and tape). In addition they will receive a drop of cyanoacrylate glue (Dermabond® topical skin adhesive) at both the PIVC insertion site and under the hub of the catheter.
|
Device: Cyanoacrylate glue
One drop of cyanoacrylate glue will be applied to the intravenous (IV) insertion site and another drop under the hub of the IV catheter
|
Placebo Comparator: Standard Care
Patients in the control group will receive standard PIVC placement with cloth-bordered transparent polyurethane dressing (Tegaderm® I.V. Advanced) and tape.
|
Other: Transparent polyurethane dressing
The IV will be secured in the usual manner with tape and a transparent dressing.

Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Percentage of PIVCs that fail before the intended intravenous treatment course is complete [ Time Frame: Measured at the point at which the PIVC fails, up to 14 days ] PIVC failure is defined by a composite of dislodgement, occlusion, signs of infection, and phlebitis. Dislodgement is defined as subcutaneous extravasation, accidental removal by patient or staff, or history that the PIVC "fell out". Occlusion is defined as an inability to flush the catheter with 2-3ccs of normal saline or history that the PIVC was "not working". Infection is defined as presence of pus, erythema, pain, and/or swelling around the PIVC site in keeping with a clinical suspicion of infection or cellulitis. Phlebitis is defined as a painful, palpable, cord-like vein.If the PIVC fails (as per the above definition) before an order is written to discontinue the PIVC, it will be determined the device failed before the treatment course was complete.
