Laser and ultrasound for IV placement in heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new method using laser and ultrasound guidance to place a small tube (IV) in a vein for patients having heart surgery. It may help make the procedure faster and safer.

This trial tests whether using ultrasound to measure a vein near your heart (the inferior vena cava) can help prevent low blood pressure (hypotension) when you go under anesthesia for surgery. It is for older adults (65-85) scheduled for non-cardiac surgery.
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 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 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 study compares two ways of placing an IV when it is hard to find a vein in the emergency room: a midline catheter (a longer tube placed deeper in the arm) and an ultrasound-guided IV (using sound waves to find the vein). The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you who have difficult IV access.
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery (intravascular ultrasound) helps doctors better treat blocked leg arteries. It may lead to more effective procedures for patients with leg pain or wounds due to poor blood flow.
