PIVO Use for Blood Cultures in the Emergency Department
This study is looking at how well a device called PIVO works when collecting blood samples for blood cultures in the emergency department. The PIVO device is needle-free and can be used through an IV to get a blood sample. The goal is to see if using PIVO can reduce the number of needle sticks and lower the chance of the blood sample getting contaminated. This study is for patients of all ages who need blood cultures taken in the emergency department. Researchers will train staff on how to use the PIVO device and then track how often it's used and how clean the blood samples are over 12 months. This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch what happens without giving specific treatments, and aims to include 10,000 patients.

What this trial measures
- PIVO utilizationFrom baseline until 12 months after baseline
The investigators will assess utilization of the device for blood cultures obtained in the emergency department through review of the medical record and documentation of cases in which PIVO was used for blood cultures as a proportion of all blood cultures obtained.
- Contamination ratesFrom baseline until 12 months after baseline
The investigators will assess contamination rates for blood cultures obtained using the device compared to blood cultures obtained without the device.
