Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Need for IV Access
• Interventions: Device: Long axis IV placement with ultrasound; Device: Short axis IV placement with ultrasound

• Registration Number: NCT01870661
• Lead Sponsor: Beth Israel Medical Center

Brief Summary

Comparison of peripheral IV catheters inserted by ultrasound using the long axis vs. the short axis technique. Our hypothesis is that long axis ultrasound placement will increase the longevity of the IV catheter.
