Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Anatomical differences (vessel diameter and depth) between cases in which venipuncture was possible at the first time of implantation of peripherally inserted central venous catheters and cases in which two or more punctures were required	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Venipuncture time Complications rate(bloodstream infection, hemorrhage at the insertion site, phlebitis, vein thrombosis, and catheter malfunction such as partial/complete occlusion and fracture) (hematoma,extravasation,injury to surrounding tissues,thrombophlebitis,thrombosis,catheter-related bloodstream infection,unintentional self-removal or catheter malfunction such as partial or complete occlusion and fracture	—
