Children admitted to hospital often require medications delivered directly to their blood stream. This is normally achieved through the insertion of a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC). A PIVC is a small plastic tube that is inserted into a person’s vein and left there for the delivery of medication or hydrating fluids.
