Background: While the available literature recommends placement of two large-bore intravenous (2LBIV) lines in every patient presenting with acute GIB, the adherence and impact of this recommendation have never before been reported.
Aims: We designed a quality improvement project to assess whether the patients presenting to our institution with acute GIB have appropriate intravenous (IV) access or not.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study, of all patients presenting to our emergency department with overt GIB over a 2-month period.
