Abstract
Background
Peripheral intravenous (IV) access in neonates is a common yet challenging procedure due to anatomical and physiological factors. The Difficult Intravenous Access (DIVA) score is a predictive tool designed to assess the level of difficulty prior to IV access attempts. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the success rate of peripheral IV access in neonates performed by clinical nurses, considering the DIVA score and other influencing factors.
Methods
A random sampling method was used to recruit participants. The DIVA score was assessed before each IV placement. Variables recorded included the clinical competence of nurses, DIVA score, training history, years of neonatal experience, needle insertion experience, and gestational age. Multivariate analyses were conducted with a significance level of 5 %.
Results
A total of 60 clinical nurses and 60 neonates were included in the study. Multivariate analysis revealed that the DIVA score (OR = 0.525, p = 0.028) was the only statistically significant factor associated with IV access success. Needle insertion experience showed a strong positive influence but was borderline significant (OR = 36.863, p = 0.060). Other variables, including clinical competence (OR = 0.064, p = 0.106), training history (OR = 4.133, p = 0.333), years of neonatal experience (OR = 0.972, p = 0.732), and gestational age (OR = 1.020, p = 0.873) did not show significant associations with success.
Conclusion
The DIVA score was the only variable significantly associated with the success of peripheral IV access in neonates, while needle insertion experience showed a borderline positive effect. Other factors, such as clinical competence, training history, years of neonatal experience, and gestational age, were not significantly related to success in this study. Further investigation with larger sample sizes may be warranted to explore these associations further.
