Assessment of Patient Understanding and Preference of Rescue Venous Access When Shown a Narrated Video Vignette Versus Traditional Paper Information Sheet

Aim: Patient Perception: This aim broadly intends to use traditional script versus a brief
video education vignette to determine understanding and preferences among general emergency
department patients of rescue access techniques. A challenge of emergency care is providing
patient education surrounding procedures in a standardized and patient-oriented manner. This
data would provide insight on a patient's understanding of the risks and benefits of rescue
access, assess patient preference, and potentially influence what rescue technique is
employed in the future. This information may also give us insight onto why DIVA patients
might refuse randomization.


Inclusion Criteria:

- greater than or equal to 18 years of age

- fluent in English

- hemodynamically stable emergency department patient

Exclusion Criteria:

- history of or current status of difficult intravenous access
