Development and Evaluation of an Algorithm for Vascular Access Management

Phase 2 aims to evaluate the impact of the implementation of the A-DIVA Scale (classification score for difficult intravenous access) on practitioners' approaches to the peripheral venous catheter placement. It consists of a systematic collection of peripheral venous catheter placement practices for quantitative data and a questionnaire of professionals' opinions on the use of the A-DIVA scale for qualitative data. The main objective of this phase is to recognize the potential appearance of changes in practices through the implementation of a tool for evaluating vascular access difficulties

"The main objective of this phase is to evaluate the impact of the algorithm on the quality of peripheral venous catheter placement.~• Systematic collection of judgment criteria and socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients. Description of the care strategy implemented. Systematic collection of the A-DIVA Scale with identification of the patient's risk group, systematic rating of pain and evaluation of overall comfort."
