A Randomized Controlled Study of Efficacy of Infra Red Vein Illumination Versus Standard Technique
The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of the vein visualization device
AccuVein (AccuVein, Inc., Huntington, NY) in comparison to a standard technique for
establishing intravenous (iv) access in the infant and toddler population (<2years)
AccuVein (AccuVein, Inc., Huntington, NY) in comparison to a standard technique for
establishing intravenous (iv) access in the infant and toddler population (<2years)
The objective of this project is to compare the iv success rate using the FDA approved
Accuvein device for vein illumination versus not using the device, for infants/toddlers
undergoing surgery at Penn State Children's Hospital with an ASA physical status 1, 2, or 3.
After obtaining informed consent, the infant will be randomized to the vein illuminatin or
standard group based on a computer generated number.
