Abstract

A comprehensive literature review was completed to demonstrate the impact on patient care and workflow in the ED by changing the way nurses place patient intravenous access. Patient perspectives, and cost-effectiveness in performing imaging at the bedside, nurses’ willingness to complete the education and willingness to employ the technology were all taken into consideration.
