Brief Summary

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

This study will determine the efficacy of POCUS (Point of Care UltraSound) for intravenous (IV) access during pediatric interfacility transport. The Butterfly iQ+ (Lightning) device will be used. Children requiring IV access for transport will be randomized to POCUS-Assisted IV placement or traditional IV placement. We will examine and compare first attempt success rates with each method.
