Study on easier first-attempt IV insertion
This trial tests a new scoring method called A-DIVA to help nurses find a vein on the first try when starting an IV (VVP). It may reduce multiple needle sticks and improve comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You must be able to speak and understand French
- You must be enrolled in French health insurance (social security)
- You must be able to give written consent
- You need to have both arms and no condition that makes IV placement in the upper limbs unsafe

This trial tests whether a small, portable ultrasound device works as well as a standard ultrasound machine to help nurses insert a peripheral IV line in patients whose veins are hard to find or access. It could lead to fewer needle sticks and less discomfort.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound or infrared light makes it easier to place an IV line in people whose veins are hard to see or feel. It compares these methods to the usual way of placing an IV.
This study tests a simple scoring system (called A-DIVA) used at hospital admission to predict if it will be hard to place an IV line. The goal is to help protect your veins and make IV placement easier.
This study tests an algorithm (a step-by-step decision tool) to help healthcare teams manage peripheral IV lines. It may help reduce problems like failed IV access and improve how IV lines are handled over time.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound to guide IV placement helps children who are known to have hard-to-find veins. It aims to make the process quicker and less painful.
This trial compares two methods of placing a longer IV catheter in patients who have difficult IV access. It aims to see which technique works better and is more comfortable for you.
