Ultrasound-guided IV placement study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 12 years old or older.
- You need to have an IV placed as part of your normal medical care.
- You are healthy enough to have an IV placed.
- You can have the IV placed in your arm or hand (a suitable spot for a standard IV).

This study compares two ways of placing an IV when it is hard to find a vein in the emergency room: a midline catheter (a longer tube placed deeper in the arm) and an ultrasound-guided IV (using sound waves to find the vein). The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you who have difficult IV 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.
This study compares two ways of placing a longer IV line in patients whose veins are hard to find. If you have difficult IV access, it may help your care team choose the best method for you.
This Phase 4 study looks at how to place a large IV line (called a central line) in the emergency department using ultrasound guidance. It may help patients by improving how safely and effectively these lines are placed, especially in urgent situations.
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 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.
