Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of an augmented reality virtual ruler during placement of peripherally inserted central catheters.

Detailed Description

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

After being informed about the study, patients who give consent will have their peripheral inserted central catheter placed by a physician wearing mixed reality smart glasses. The mixed reality smart glasses will have an application that allows the physician to measure distances with their hands. This application will be used to measure the appropriate length for which to trim the central catheter.
