Summary

Background: The AccuVein AV300 device helps in venepuncture and intravenous (IV) cannulation. It uses infrared light that can be absorbed by the blood hemoglobin so that veins location is clearly viewed on the skin's surface.

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of the AV300 device over the standard technique in increasing the first-time success rate (SR) for pediatric patients who needed IV cannulation.

Methods: This was a prospective cross study of patients aged 0-18 years scheduled for surgery or examination under anesthesia but without having an existing IV access and after providing consent form. Patients were randomized into two groups; cannulation with AV300 or standard insertion performed by experienced pediatric anesthesiologists and residents under training.
