Abstract: Aims and objectives To determine the factors affecting the first‐attempt success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) placement in older emergency department patients. Background In older patients who require intravenous treatment, establishing a PIVC as fast as possible is clinically important. Design This is a prospective, observational, descriptive study. Methods Using a data collection form, researchers questioned both the patient and the nurse performing the procedure in terms of patient‐ and operator‐related factors. This study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines (See Supporting Information Appendix S1). Results A total of 472 patients were included in the final analyses. According to the logistic regression analysis, independent factors which affected first‐attempt failure were found to be: choosing a nonupper extremity site for PIVC (OR: 4.72, 95% CI: 1.35–16.45, p‐value: 0.015), history of difficult intravenous access (OR: 3.02, 95% CI: 1.72–5.29, p‐value:
