Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) can be used frequently in pediatric hematology oncology patients. There are different types of PIVCs as open and closed. There are studies on adults using the closed IV catheter system, which is a type of PICK. However, no study was found in the literature in which the closed IV catheter system was used in the pediatric population.
The primary purpose of this research is; to evaluate the effect of two different catheter systems (closed IV catheter system: BD Nexiva™/ peripheral open IV catheter: BD Insyte™ Autoguard™) on catheter stay in pediatric hematology and oncology patients aged 1-12 years. The secondary aim of the research is; to evaluate the effect of two different catheter systems on the success of catheter placement and the development of complications in the first attempt in pediatric hematology and oncology patients.

There is a high-pressure extension set and a Q-syte split septum needle-free intervention device at the tip of the catheter. It creates a closed integrated system with this apparatus, reducing the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection.
BD Instaflash™ needle technology improves initial entry success by confirming vascular access through the needle noch. It has flexible wings for secure cannula fixation.
