Figure 2 

Comparison of standard peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs; green line) with long peripheral intravenous catheters (LPIVCs; grey line). The x-axis represents the catheter indwelling time in hours, and the y-axis represents the cumulative incidence of CF (%). A comparison of CF-free survival distributions using the log-rank test showed a significant difference between the two catheter types (p=.01).
