Evidence for PIVC extension sets

[Michael Wishart]

[Posted on behalf of Helen Scott – Moderator]

Hi all,

I was wondering if you have any best practice guidelines/evidence in the use of PIVC extension sets (j-loops etc.), and when to and not to use them (e.g. not in short term where patients won’t be receiving ongoing IV therapy).

Many thanks,
