NCT04821362

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is any difference between the use of standard techniques, ultrasonography and infra-red light for the success of the first attempt in difficult peripheral vascular access patients. Patients who have difficult vascular access history ( often need 2 or more attempt to access peripheral intravenous catheter), who do not have palpable or visible vein after tourniquet, and who have the hard anticipation according to operator ( easy-moderate-hard) are included to study. The primary objective is planned as the determination of the success rate in the first attempt. Secondary aims of the study were determined as: total procedure time,total number of attempts, and need for rescue procedure

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Success in the First Attempt

    The success numbers of the first attempt during the implementation of all three methods

    From the time of randomization until the time of the first successful attempt, up to 30 minutes.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Procedure Time.

    From the time of the tourniquet application, until the procedure successfully achieved, up to 1 hour.

  • Patients Who Need Rescue Methods

    Up to 1 hour.

  • Number of Attempts

    From the time of randomization until the time of the successful attempt, up to 1 hour.

Study Arms (3)

Standard technique group

NO INTERVENTION

In this group, peripheral intravenous catheter insertion will be performed routinely.

Ultrasound group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group, peripheral intravenous catheter insertion will be performed with ultrasound. A linear probe will be used for procedures.

Device: Ultrasound group

Near Infrared Device Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group, peripheral intravenous catheter insertion will be performed with AccuVein AV 400.

Device: Near Infrared Device Group

Interventions

In the ultrasound group, the nurses will insert the cannulas to the peripheral veins as horizontally and longitudinally with the linear probe.

Ultrasound group

In the near infrared device group, the nurses will insert the cannulas to the peripheral veins with AccuVein AV 400.

Near Infrared Device Group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who have previously described a history of difficult vascular access.
  • Patients who do not have palpable or visible veins after tourniquet placement or who have been referred to unusual locations due to the lack of appropriate veins in the upper extremity.
  • Patients who are expected to be hard to perform the procedure by the senior nurse.

You may not qualify if:

  • The patients who do not need vascular access.
  • Patients who do not give consent
  • Pregnant patients
  • Patients who are under 18 years old
  • Patients who require immediate intervention due to any life-threatening condition.
