Brief Summary

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

Evaluation of the AccuVein ® AV 300 vein scanner in clinical routine in a pediatric operation room setting for a 4 weeks period. Assessment of usability, anonymous clinical register of every venepuncture(age, gender, size, weight, punction site, number of attempts, time until successful cannulation, local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia, pain scales: faces pain scale und BPS/BPOS).

Detailed Description

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

For application of drugs and liquids a peripheral venous access is necessary in anaesthesiological procedures.The peripheral venepuncture is a painful procedure and induces a higher level of perioperative stress in children.

The punction of peripheral veins in children can be made difficult by the often distinctive amount of subcutaneous fat or other medical conditions.

The AccuVein ® AV300 vein scanner is a contactless, laser-driven device made for facilitate the search for peripheral veins up to a depth of 7mm. This could lead to a minimization of time until successful puncture and smaller number of failures.
