This research seeks to compare two types of vascular access (catheters that are inserted into the vein) for patient treatment during hospitalization. This research will evaluate how long each catheter lasts before presenting problems that may lead to its removal from the vein (the most common are swelling on the site of the catheter, clogging of the catheter, infections, or other less common problems. Each patient will be randomly selected to receive either catheter. In this study, we will also estimate how much each patient will spend if any of the problems mentioned occur.
