Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Guidelines state that puncture should be attempted only twice per professional, to a maximum of four attempts; against this recommendation and due to the patient's therapeutic needs and clinical situation, health professionals attempt to puncture multiple times in a single scenario. In this regard, health professionals should consider using specific technologies that help to select the vein and reduce the number of puncture attempts and catheter-related mechanical complications. Taking into account the multiplicity of existing technologies in the international market that assist health professionals in peripheral venous catheterization, ultrasound and infrared devices emerge in the literature as two of the most commonly used during this procedure.
These technologies were developed with the purpose of improving peripheral intravenous catheterization success rate and thus reducing the number and extent of the negative effects of multiple or unsuccessful attempts, with the additional purpose of avoiding the frustrations of health professionals in these scenarios. However, such technologies are still underused in clinical practice, since health professionals are not familiar with the use of these devices. Moreover, the costs associated with their purchase and maintenance may be considered as excessive in relation to the traditional method.
The project investigators aim to determine whether the use of either ultrasound or near-infrared vascular imaging will significantly improve the success rate of peripheral intravenous catheterization in adults on first attempt by nurses compared with the standard approach, reduce immediate related complications and improve patient and provider satisfaction.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Ultrasound imaging
Ultrasonography offers visual information about the size and depth of blood vessels, potentially facilitating intravenous placement of the needle in real time.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound allows viewing veins and surrounding anatomical structures, making it easier to perform the placement of a cannula into a peripherally located vein in real time. This process allows the cannulation of veins that are unable to be visualised or palpated.
Near-infrared imaging
Near-infrared imaging devices project near-infrared light onto the skin, which is absorbed by deoxygenated hemoglobin. The invisible image of the underlying vascular pattern is captured by the device, processed and projected, in real time, back onto the patient's skin using visible green light. This technology allows hands-free visualization of a vascular map to guide catheter placement.
Near Infrared Light
Infrared technologies allows illuminating the vein with a near-infrared light, which is absorbed by blood and reflected by adjacent tissue.
