Randomized Cross Over Study Comparing the First Attempt Success Rate of Intravenous Cannulation in Children Using the AccuVein AV 300 Apparatus Versus the Standard Technique
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating AccuVein AV 300 for Procedural Complication. Completed, enrolled 184 participants.
Detailed Summary
Background: The AccuVein AV300 device helps in venepuncture and intravenous (IV) cannulation. It uses infrared light that can be absorbed by the blood hemoglobin so that veins location is clearly viewed on the skin's surface. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of the AV300 device over the standard technique in increasing the first-time success rate (SR) for pediatric patients who needed IV cannulation. Methods: This was a prospective cross study of patients aged 0-18 years scheduled for surgery or examination under anesthesia but without having an existing IV access and after providing consent form. Patients were randomized into two groups; cannulation with AV300 or standard insertion performed by experienced pediatric anesthesiologists and residents under training.
