Can imaging help place IVs in children?
Part of Digestive system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special imaging device helps nurses place IVs more easily in children. If your child needs an IV for a planned surgery or procedure, this study may make the experience quicker and less stressful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a small, handheld ultrasound device to help doctors place IVs in children ages 1 to 6 who are having surgery. It may make the process faster 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 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.
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.
