Imaging devices for placing IVs in children
Part of Digestive system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The patient is between 0 and 18 years old.
- The patient is scheduled for day-case surgery or a procedure that does not require an operating room (like in a clinic or imaging suite).
- The patient needs an IV (intravenous line) for fluids or medicine.
- A parent or legal guardian can give written permission.
- The patient does not have an infection, swelling, or wound on the arm or leg where the IV would be placed.

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.
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.
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 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 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.
