Hello friends! I am a new (4 month old…. I’m just a baby!) clinical nurse educator with 7 years of MICU/CVICU experience. I’m hoping someone better at research than I am can help.
I just read an interesting study that is showing “short-term” vasopressor use via PIV’s showed low incidence of adverse events and decreased need for CVC placement.
My question is: searching through the references and article itself, I’m having a very difficult time defining what the actual time frame “short-term” means. Is this 6, 12, 24hrs, or could it be days? There is no definition offered in the study. I will post the link below, does anyone have any research based insights?

Thank you in advance!!!
