NCT03477552

Brief Summary

The primary goal of this randomized, controlled, open-label study is to determine the efficacy of AccuveinV400 (a transillumination veins device) to facilitate peripheral intravenous (IVP) catheter placement during a vaso-oclusive crisis. The investigators hypothesized that the number of attempts to a successful placement of a peripheral IV, our primary outcome, would be shorter with the assistance of the Accuvein V400. It is also expected that AccuveinV400 will reduce the time of the procedure, the rate of failure, the technique-related pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of venipunctures

    Number of venipunctures until the peripheral IV placement (with a retrograde blood sample) or before failure (discontinuation after at least 3 attempts by 2 nurses and a maximum of 9 attempts in total).

    Time of the infusion procedure

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Time of the procedure

    Time of the infusion procedure

  • Procedure failure

    Time of the infusion procedure

  • The need of a central venous catheter

    Time of the infusion procedure

  • Patient bone pain before and after the procedure

    Before and within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  • Anxiety before and after the procedure

    Just before and within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Accuvein V400 device

EXPERIMENTAL

In the Accuvein group, the nurse uses the Accuvein device to identify the veins before any puncture to infuse the patient and then proceeds as usual, under illumination of the device.

Device: Accuvein V400 device

Routine procedure

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In the control group, the nurse proceeds as usual to infuse the patient (visual identification in the light of the chamber and palpation)

Other: Routine procedure

Interventions

Sickle cell patients who need a new vein puncture in order to infuse them will benefit of AccuveinV400 device to illuminate their venous network

Model Details: Adult sickle cell patients who need of a new peripheral intravenous catheter placement (for fluid or porphine therapy) will be randomized between two arms : usual technique or use of the AccuveinV400® device). The randomization list (ratio 1: 1) will be made by the statistician of the study using the SAS software and balanced by random blocks of small size (2, 4, 6) to make it unpredictable. The randomization will be stratified on the center and the number of hospitalizations in the previous year (\>3, \<3).
