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 using a type of infrared (IR) light before placing a standard IV line helps make your veins easier to see. It may help people who need an IV and are not on blood thinners or have certain conditions that affect vein health.
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 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 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 tests a new device to help place an IV (a small tube in a blood vessel) in children using ultrasound. It may make the procedure easier and safer for pediatric patients who need a blood-vessel access.
