Using a vein-finding camera to place IVs in children
This study tests whether a special camera that uses near-infrared light can help nurses place an IV more easily in children. If your child needs an IV and is treated at Brno University Hospital, this device might make the process smoother and less painful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is a patient in the pediatric anesthesia or intensive care unit at Brno University Hospital.
- Your child needs a standard IV (peripheral intravenous line) placed.
- You or your child's legal guardian agrees to be part of the study.
- The special light-based vein finder (near-infrared device) is available and will be used.

This study tests whether a near-infrared light device helps nurses find veins more easily for a short IV line (a small tube placed in a vein for fluids or medicine). If you have hard-to-see or hard-to-find veins, this tool might make your IV placement quicker and less painful.
This study tests whether special imaging devices help doctors place IVs more successfully in children. If your child needs an IV for a surgery or procedure, this could make the process easier and less stressful.
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 a handheld device called AccuVein that uses a light to help nurses see your veins better, making it easier to start an IV. If you often have trouble getting IVs, this study could help make the process less painful.
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 compares two ways to place an IV (a small tube that gives you medicine or fluids through a vein). One method uses ultrasound to find the best vein, the other uses the traditional method. It aims to see if ultrasound helps make IV placement easier and more successful.
