متن کاملImproving patient safety by doing less rather than more: many peripheral intravenous catheters are unnecessary
We would like to congratulate Kampf and colleagues on their study, which demonstrates the effectiveness of a multimodal intervention to improve safety for the insertion of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) [1].
