Summary

This randomized study compared two ultrasound-guided techniques for placing a peripheral intravenous cannula in adults aged 20 to 60 years who required intravenous access. Participants were assigned equally to either the short-axis out-of-plane approach or the long-axis in-plane approach. The study evaluated whether the techniques differed in successful cannulation. It also compared cannulation time, number of attempts, and immediate complications, including arterial puncture, extravasation, and haematoma.

Conditions

  • Peripheral Venous Catheterization

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Short-Axis Out-of-Plane Ultrasound-Guided Cannulation

The ultrasound probe was positioned perpendicular to the target vein to obtain a transverse image. A peripheral intravenous cannula was inserted by advancing the needle using the out-of-plane technique under real-time ultrasound guidance.

PROCEDURE

Long-Axis In-Plane Ultrasound-Guided Cannulation

The ultrasound probe was positioned parallel to the target vein to obtain a longitudinal image. A peripheral intravenous cannula was inserted by advancing the needle in plane while maintaining visualization of the needle tip under real-time ultrasound guidance.
