Discussion

Pre-post intervention study improved iv cannulation success and reduced complications in pediatrics, indicating standardization benefits.

First-attempt success for iv cannulation improved significantly from 64% to 88% after implementing new protocols.
Infiltration rates decreased from 22.5% to 8.3%, and phlebitis rates dropped from 12.5% to 2.3%, highlighting improved outcomes.
A quality improvement initiative included simulation-based training and protocol adherence assessments in a pediatric unit.
Patient satisfaction increased notably from 3.2 to 4.6 out of 5, indicating enhanced experiences along with procedural success.

Joseph et al. (2025) studied this question.
