The study was designed to investigate the effects of a PIVC Bundle, which includes a vein visualization device and a vial (BD Neoflon™ Pro catheter), on catheter placement success, complications, procedure-related pain, and catheter length of stay in children aged 1-6 years who are scheduled for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion.
The study sample included four groups: (1) vein visualization device (VGC) and Vialon Catheter Group, (2) VGC and Standard/Teflon Catheter Group, (3) Vialon Catheter Group, (4) Standard/Teflon Catheter Group/Control Group. Data were collected using the Socio-Demographic Data Collection Form, the Forced Intravenous Intervention Score, the PIVC Site Follow-up Form, the Infiltration Scale, the Extravasation Scale, the Phlebitis Scale, and the FLACC Pain Diagnosis Scale.

PIVC insertion related pain score
The FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) score related to the PIVC insertion. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10, with 0 representing no pain. Assessment of score: 0 = Relaxed and comfortable 1-3 = Mild discomfort 4-6 = Moderate pain 7-10 = Severe discomfort/pain
Time frame: FLACC score evaluated 3 minutes after the PIVC insertion
PIVC indwelling time
PIVC stay time
Time frame: immediately after the PIC intervention
