Novel Device for Ultrasound-guided Pediatric Vessel Cannulations

Not Applicable
Conditions
Clinical Procedures Which Require Vessel Cannulations in Pediatric Patients
Registration Number
NCT04039490
Lead Sponsor
Clear Guide Medical
Brief Summary

Clinical Trial to investigate whether the use of a novel device to be used in conjunction with ultrasound in pediatric vessel cannulations is superior to ultrasound-only pediatric vessel cannulations in terms of number of cannulation attempts.

Detailed Description

Use of needle guidance plus ultrasound imaging for CVC placement in the pediatric high-risk population may facilitate the procedure with a single needle pass and decrease the incidence of adverse effects by minimizing additional needle passes. This study will compare the use of ultrasound-only guidance with the Clear Guide SCENERGY guidance in terms of successful first-attempt vessel cannulations such as internal jugular and fermoral artery access. The question is whether it is possible to make ultrasound-guided pediatric vascular access less technically challenging in order to improve adoption and utilization leading to decreased iatrogenic complications and improved patient safety.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Successful first-attempt vessel cannulation1 hour

Test if the vessel cannulation was successful with only 1 attempt --needle puncture--to reach the vessel

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Non-IR Personnel Successfully Cannulate Pediatric Patients1 hour

Test if non-specialists can learn to successfully cannulate pediatric patients with only 1 needle puncture.

Point-of-Care Successful Cannulation1 hour

Test whether the SCENERGY makes possible successful pediatric vessel cannulations at patient's point of care location.
