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.
