About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy of Transillumination on Peripheral Venous Line Placement in Patients With a Difficult Vascular Approach Who Are Managed in the Emergency Department.

When taking care of an emergency patient (Emergency Reception Service: UAS and Urgent Medical Assistance Service: SAMU), the installation of a peripheral venous route (VVP) is an important step. The benchmark method is the most widely used technique. This vascular access will allow the necessary therapy to be delivered quickly and efficiently. This can be difficult and sometimes doomed to failure for reasons related both to the patient (venous capital not very visible / felt or limited due to the profile of the patient), or sometimes also for reasons related to the patient. environment (limited lighting, difficult patient access). The only current alternatives lie in the use of a device such as the Intra-Bone Device (IID) or the installation of a central venous line. On the other hand, these alternatives are particularly invasive and / or very algogenic.

There are other techniques, which are more affordable and "transportable" outside the hospital. Indeed, trans-illumination with a very short training seems to be a particularly interesting alternative. It allows, thanks to LEDs in contact with the skin, to backlight the superficial veins.

It is proposed through this project to evaluate this tool for a category of patients considered "difficult" to infuse, both within hospital and outside hospital.

The main objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the transillumination device, compared to the absence of such a device, on the placement of a peripheral venous line (PVP) in patients with a difficult vascular approach and managed in the emergency room and whose clinical condition does not require the installation of an intraosseous device.

This is a multicenter, prospective, controlled, randomized and open clinical study, according to a cross-over design. The intervention evaluated is the placement of a PVR using the trans-illumination device. The control intervention is the placement of a PVR without this device, according to the reference method, which is the benchmark method.

400 patients presenting to the emergency room will be included in the centers of Nancy, Toul and Pont-à-Mousson.

Depending on their randomization group, nurses will perform peripheral venous insertion by the transillumination method or by the control method.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients for whom peripheral venous vein placement was successful on the first attempt

    Measured: immediately after procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. number of attempts before successful venous line placement

    Measured: during the procedure

  2. patient pain

    The patient's pain is measured by the digital pain scale (scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain)).

    Measured: during the procedure

  3. nurse stress

    Nurse stress is measured by the digital stress scale (scale ranging from 0 (no stress) to 10 (intolerable stress)).

    Measured: during the procedure

  4. The caliber of the peripheral venous route

    measured by the type of catheter gauge used

    Measured: during the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing transillumination dispositif in people with Emergencies and Toxicomania, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France.

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 9 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Julie Lecomte (0383155278, ju.lecomte@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients for whom peripheral venous vein placement was successful on the first attempt (time frame: immediately after procedure). 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.

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 16 Nov 2020.
