Handheld Ultrasound for Vascular Cannulation in Children

This study is looking at a new way to check if an IV (intravenous) line is correctly placed in children aged 1 to 6 years old who are having surgery. Researchers are comparing a traditional ultrasound machine (Sonosite) with a new, portable handheld ultrasound device called Lumify®. The goal is to see if Lumify® can quickly and accurately confirm that the IV is in the right place using a technique called the rapid atrial swirl sign (RASS). This could make it easier to use ultrasound in more places. You might be able to join if your child is between 1 and 6 years old, needs an IV for surgery, and is not sensitive to fluids or sodium. The study aims to enroll 100 children, but the current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study involving 100 pediatric patients. It compares a handheld ultrasound device (Lumify®) to a standard ultrasound machine (Sonosite).
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, RASS, is measured at Baseline, suggesting follow-up beyond this point is not specified.
