About this study

Official title: Ultrasound-guided Peripheral Vascular Access in Children - a Single- Blind, Randomized, Cross-over Trial

The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a randomized, patient-blinded prospective controlled trial comparing peripheral intravenous cannulation in children done by:

  1. Conventional landmark cannulation where the intravenous cannulation is done by direct visual guidance or palpation or a combination thereof.
  2. Ultrasound guided cannulation by means of DNTP.

The investigators hypothesize that with ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous cannulation the first-attempt success rate will be significantly higher than by the conventional landmark cannulation technique.

Being tested
IV puncture guided by ultrasound

What participants receive

  • IV puncture guided by ultrasoundProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. First attempt success

    Succes rate of first attempt cannulation for ultrasound and traditional method will be compared.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IV puncture guided by ultrasound in people with Ultrasonography and Vascular Access Devices, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nigopan Gopalasingam (+45 31535950, 20103907@post.au.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

First attempt success (time frame: Intraoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
