Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the VeinViewer® near infrared device to facilitate the placement of intravenous catheters in children who require intravenous cannulation in the pediatric emergency department. This clinical protocol is designed to determine whether using the VeinViewer increases the ease and efficiency of IV cannulation (as perceived by the operator), decreases the time to effective cannulation, decreases the number of sticks and extravasations, and decreases the child's and the parents perception of the pain of IV cannulation.
