Interventions
Other: Augmented Reality
Registration Number
NCT05710445
Lead Sponsor
University of Pennsylvania
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of an augmented reality headset for visualization of ultrasound images during ultrasound guided placement of an intravenous catheter.

Detailed Description

After being informed about the study, patients who require image guided intravenous access and give consent will have their intravenous catheter placed by a physician wearing mixed reality smart glasses. The mixed reality smart glasses will have an application that allows the physician to view the ultrasound images in a virtual monitor. The physician will then use the images viewed on this virtual monitor to guide placement of the intravenous catheter.
