About this study

Official title: Peripheral Veins Cannulation in Children Using Veinsite: a Randomized Clinical Trial

multicenter, prospective and cohort study to evaluate infrared technology for identifying and and indwelling peripheral veins in 0 up to 4 years old children.

Read the detailed description

AIM OF THE STUDY The primary objective of this study is to determine the success rate at first attempt of peripheral veins cannulation in small children (<5yrs) and infants (<1yr) of Veinsite compared with traditional palpation method performed by skilled operators.

The secondary objective of this study is to determine the time to cannulation using the two techniques, the difference in visualized veins using the Veinsite or the direct visualization and palpation of the patients' skin, cannula indwelling time and complications related to the procedure.

DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled study

Population

It is expected to recruit 60 pediatric patients undergoing peripheral vein cannulation with known difficulties according the difficult venous access score (DIVA) (6) in the following centers:

  1. Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Neurologico "C.Besta" , Milano
  2. Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù, IRCCS, Roma

Duration of study Patient will be followed from the day of peripheral vein cannulation till the peripheral cannula will be removed (max 3 days) in order to assess any cause of venous extravasation. The recruitment phase is supposed to be 6 months after achieving the ethical-administrative authorization.

Being tested
infrared technology: Veinsite

What is being measured

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

  1. success of peripheral vein access positioning

    to determine the success rate at first attempt of peripheral veins cannulation in small children (<5yrs) and infants (<1yr) of Veinsite compared with traditional palpation method performed by skilled operators.

    Measured: 2 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. impact of DIVA score(difficult vein access score) on time of success number of participants with treatment-related peripheral vein cannulation failure

    of this study is to determine the time to cannulation using the two techniques, the difference in visualized veins using the Veinsite or the direct visualization and palpation of the patients' skin, cannula indwelling time and complications related to the procedure.

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing infrared technology: Veinsite in people with Successful Vein Cannulation at First Attempt, run by Bambino Gesù Hospital and Research Institute.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

success of peripheral vein access positioning (time frame: 2 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02918604, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2016.
