Handheld ultrasound to help place IVs in children
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 6 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for surgery and need an IV (a small tube placed in a vein for fluids or medicine).
- Your child should not have a condition that makes them sensitive to fluids or sodium.

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 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 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 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.
