This article explores the research on the rate of failure of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIC) in hospitals, with skin glue being the intervention. The study found that the addition of skin glue at the point of insertion decreased the non-workability of the PIC by 10%, with a reduction in dislodgement and no infections. The research is relevant to nursing practice as it provides evidence-based information on improving the success rate of PIC in hospitals.
