Summary
To learn about the effects of the length of the catheter on the failure and success rate of USIV placement.
Detailed Description

Secondary Objectives: 1. Time from catheter placement to removal (i.e. survival or dwell time). 2. Per catheter length rate of failure analysis 3. Rate of repeat catheterization 4. Rate of infection 5. Rate of thrombosis
