Implementing an Evidence-based, Standardized Care Bundle Targeting Register Nurses and Anaesthesiologists, to Enhance Patient Safety and Quality of Intravascular Access Devices Care Management - The Safe-IVADs Project. A Longitudinell Implementation Intervention With an Embedded Process Evaluation.
Sweden700 participantsStarted 2026-07-20
Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study spanning over three years is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a co-designed, care bundle on intravascular access device (IVAD) quality and nurses and anaesthesiologist knowledge of IVADs best practices, at an intervention hospital compare to care as usual the a control hospital. Additional aims are to:
1. translate and validate a tool for identifying patients with difficult vein access within the Swedish healthcare context,
2. to evaluate the implementation related to its feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and cost-effectiveness.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the implementation of evidence-based practices improve the quality of IVADs care, e.g. thrombophlebitis/phlebitis, extravasation, infiltration, dislodgement and increase register nurses and anaesthesiologists' knowledge of IVADs best practices?
* Does the intervention bridge barriers to successful implementation and support routinization of evidence-based practices.
* Which factors influence the implementation in terms of feasibility, acceptability, cost-effectiveness and compatibility with professionals' existing values and clinical workflows?

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is focused on training nurses and anesthesiologists to better manage IV catheters — as a patient, would I have any active role or would I mainly benefit indirectly from the improved care practices being studied?
2Since this trial is not yet recruiting and is listed as a non-drug, care-bundle intervention, how might my current IV access management be affected while we wait to see if this study gets underway at a hospital near me?
3The trial is measuring things like phlebitis, infiltration, and infection related to IV catheters — are any of these complications a real concern for my current treatment plan, and is there anything being done now to reduce those risks?
4Because this is a system-level implementation study comparing hospitals rather than testing a new drug or device, does it make sense for me to seek care at a site that might be part of this trial, or would my standard of care be just as good elsewhere?
5Given that this trial has no assigned phase and focuses on staff education rather than a specific treatment, how does it differ from other clinical trials I might consider, and is it worth waiting for it to start recruiting before making decisions about where I receive IV-based care?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
To evaluate changes in intravascular catheter care quality and healthcare professionals' knowledge over time, at the intervention and control hospital.
Timeframe: Monthly changes in quality of intravascular catheter care over time at the intervention and control hospital, over three years.
