The investigators hypothesize peripheral intravenous cannulation (insertion of tube into vein) will be facilitated (decreases the number of attempts) by a passive leg raise (raising the legs at the hip to 45 degree in a child laying on their back) in children.
Full description
Establishing peripheral intravenous (PIV) access in the pediatric population is challenging even in the hands of skilled practitioners.
A passive leg raise (PLR), raising a patient's legs to a 45 degree angle while supine, auto-transfuses the blood volume within the patient's lower extremities into the central venous compartment. Increasing the blood volume in the central venous compartment may also increase the volume and caliber of upper extremity peripheral veins. It remains to be studied whether a PLR increases peripheral vein diameter and if this would facilitate the placement of PIVs in the pediatric population.
