Ultrasound vs Veinviewer in Patients With Difficulty IV Access

NCT02618252 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2025-11-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with difficulty intravenous access frequently have delay of care in emergency departments because Emergency Department (ED) personnel could not establish intravenous (IV) access for diagnostic blood test or treatment. The ultrasound machine or near-infrared devices have been used to improve this situation but no study has ever compared which machine is more efficient. This study is designed to investigate whether the ultrasound or Vein Viewer, which is a near-infrared device, is more efficient.
