Strategic Analysis of Fluid Extravasations to Improve Vascular Safety (SAFE IVS)

Interdisciplinary, structured interventions markedly improved reporting, documentation, and treatment of pediatric PIVIEs. Adoption of standardized classification tools and review processes may help hospitals reduce IV-related complications. Policymakers and accrediting bodies should consider incentivizing pediatric vascular safety metrics, supporting integration of pediatric-specific risk frameworks, and encouraging cross-institutional data sharing to drive broader improvements in care.
