Peripheral venous catheter failure, defined as the unscheduled dysfunction of peripheral venous catheter, is common and frequently entails a new invasive procedure. Flushing the catheter maintains patency and could prolong peripheral venous catheter dwell time. The introduction of pre-filled saline flushing syringes as compared to manually filled saline flushing syringes could facilitate the frequency of catheter flushing, and subsequently it could reduce peripheral venous catheter failure rate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To demonstrate differences in overall peripheral venous catheter failure rates before and after the introduction of pre-filled saline flushing syringes and to assess the risk factors for peripheral venous catheter failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Quasi-experimental design, before-and-after intervention study.

Multicenter study conducted in medical and surgical wards of three European hospitals during a 9-month period (4\u2009months pre-intervention, 5\u2009months intervention). A multivariate Cox proportional model was used to identify factors associated with the occurrence of peripheral venous catheter failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data from 3853 peripheral venous catheters in 1915 patients were analyzed.
