Ultra-portable Ultrasound vs. Standard Ultrasound to Help Place a Peripheral Catheter in Patients at Risk of Difficult Puncture
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Standard ultrasound: Placement of IV line using standard ultrasound.
Ultra-portable ultrasound: Placement of IV line using ultra-portable ultrasound.
Study summary
The placement of an intravenous (IV) line is a common procedure when treating adult patients in critical care, in the emergency room or in the operating room. This simple and minimally invasive procedure can sometimes be made difficult depending on the patient's morphology or their clinical condition. The procedure then becomes time-consuming, anxiety-provoking, painful and its success is uncertain.
The placement of intravenous (IV) lines under ultrasound by nurses is a rapidly developing alternative in intensive care, emergencies and the operating room.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Intravenous (IV) line placement time — Day 0
