Nurse ultrasound IV placement for chemo patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing whether having a specially trained nurse use a small ultrasound machine to place the IV line can work better than the usual method for cancer patients getting chemo. If you're getting chemo through a vein, this might make the process easier and more comfortable for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer and are scheduled for chemotherapy at the outpatient unit.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You live in the Faroe Islands.
- You are able to understand and give written consent to join the study.
