Abstract
Use of COS PIVCs reduced episodes of phlebitis and risk of infection at a cost of only â¬0.09/day. When PIVCs are replaced based on clinical indication, COS PIVCs last for up to 144 h and MOS PIVCs last for up to 96 h without increased risk and with significant cost savings (â¬786,257/year/1000 beds).
