The impact of the catheter to vein ratio on peripheral intravenous cannulation success, a post-hoc analyses.

<h4>Background</h4>Intravenous cannulation is usually the first procedure performed in modern healthcare, although establishing peripheral intravenous access is challenging in some patients. The impact of the ratio between venous diameter and the size of the inserted catheter (catheter t...
