The aim of this observational study is to investigate the complications associated with peripheral venous catheterization based on whether a correct or incorrect catheter was used according to a clinical algorithm in patients admitted to an acute care unit. The main question it seeks to answer is: • Are there fewer complications associated with catheterization when a correct catheter choice is made? Data from patients admitted to the acute care units of the sponsoring study center will be reviewed.
