Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1. This study will compare the first attempt success rate of cannulation in research participants randomized to using a new FDA approved AccuVein AV300 device for intravenous access with research participants randomized to standard cannulation methods.
2. This study will assess if insertion of intravenous cannula is faster when intravenous access is assisted by the AccuVein AV300 device as compared to the standard technique.
3. This study will assess if the number of skin punctures is fewer when intravenous access is assisted by the AccuVein AV300 device as compared to the standard technique.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients agreeing to participate in this study will be randomized to one of two groups for intravenous access. One group will use the standard cannulation method and the other group will use the new FDA approved AccuVein AV300 device for cannulation.

After pre-anesthetic evaluation, the research participant will be brought to the operating room or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Suite and standard monitoring will be applied (EKG, SpO2, BP) if tolerated. Anesthesia will be induced via a face mask with sevoflurane in 100% O2. When the supervising anesthesiologist deems it appropriate, attempt at cannulation will begin.

A tourniquet will be applied. A 22-gauge cannula will be used. Randomization will take place before the patient is taken back to the Operating Room or MRI Suite. If the research participant has been randomized to the standard treatment group then cannulation will be attempted in the standard manner. If the research participant has been randomized to the AV300 device group then intravenous cannulation will be attempted using the AV300 device following the manufacturer's instructions.

A research team member will time cannulation access for all participants. Participation ends once successful cannulation is achieved or when a maximum of 4 skin punctures have been made.

Only the study coordinator will know which randomization group the patient has been assigned. Once the anesthesiologist has determined a potential IV access site, s/he will be informed to which group the patient was assigned. If the parent/guardian requests, s/he will be told after the procedure to which group the child was randomized.

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

Research participants are randomly assigned into group A (Accuvein AV300 assisted intravenous catheter insertion)

Group Type OTHER

Cannulation using Accuvein device

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

If the research participant has been randomized to the AV300 device group A, then intravenous cannulation will be attempted using the AV300 device following manufacturer's instructions by four anesthesiologists.

Group B

(standard technique of insertion of the intravenous cannula)

Group Type OTHER

Standard Cannulation method

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

If the research participant has been randomized to the standard treatment group B then cannulation will be attempted in the standard manner. A research team member will time cannulation access for all participants. Participation ends once successful cannulation is achieved or when a maximum of 4 skin punctures have been made.
