About This Event
Difficult venous access (DIVA) is a prevalent clinical challenge that affects patient safety, satisfaction, and healthcare resource utilization. Studies indicate that an estimated 22% of people presenting to the emergency department requiring an IV have DIVA, resulting in multiple failed attempts, delayed therapy, and increased costs. This webinar will review the updated definition of DIVA and the SAFE rule for prediction, as proposed by Bahl et al. (2024), and examine the validation and reliability of the Comprehensive DIVA Scoring Tool.
