About

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a continuous needle tracking system on the accuracy, speed, and quality of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheter insertion.

Full description

A pilot study using simulated tissue was conducted with 49 US-based emergency department nurses to compare insertion of a midline catheter using traditional ultrasound guidance versus an advanced needle-tracking technology along with traditional ultrasound guidance.

Enrollment: 49 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• US-based emergency department nurse who have placed 10 peripheral intravenous catheters in the past 60 days
• have placed less than or equal to 15 ultrasound-assisted vascular access devices in the past 60 days and have been practicing ultrasound-assisted vascular access no more than 18 months

Exclusion criteria

• Nurses that don't meet that predetermined inclusion criteria
