Ultra-portable Ultrasound vs. Standard Ultrasound to Help Place a Peripheral Catheter in Patients at Risk of Difficult Puncture

Conditions studied: IV Line Placement With Ultrasound

In brief

The placement of an intravenous (IV) line is a common procedure when treating adult patients in critical care, in the emergency room or in the operating room. This simple and minimally invasive procedure can sometimes be made difficult depending on the patient's morphology or their clinical condition. The procedure then becomes time-consuming, anxiety-provoking, painful and its success is uncertain. The placement of intravenous (IV) lines under ultrasound by nurses is a rapidly developing alternative in intensive care, emergencies and the operating room.
