Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the appearance of complications after the insertion of peripheral venous catheters with two different techniques (traditional and ultrasound-guided).
Detailed Description
All patients, whose parents were informed about the study and give written informed consent, will be randomized in a double-blind manner (participant and investigator) in a 1:1 ratio to visualization/palpation or ultrasound-guided peripheral catheter insertion. All participants undergo a 10 days monitoring of the catheter status.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Age between 0 and 18 years
- •Patients in need of a peripheral venous catheter
Exclusion Criteria
- •Inability of insertion in both forearms (i.e. burnt, amputation)
- •Patients in need of a central venous catheter
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of participants presenting peripheral catheter insertion-related complications for each intervention
Time Frame: From catheter insertion until the date of documented complication or catheter withdrawal assessed up to 10 days
Peripheral insertion-related complications: phebitis, infiltration, catheter loss, obstruction
Secondary Outcomes
- Demographic traits of participants presenting peripheral catheter-related complications(From catheter insertion until the date of documented complication or catheter withdrawal assessed up to 10 days)
- Use of the catheter inserted in participants presenting peripheral catheter-related complications(From catheter insertion until the date of documented complication or catheter withdrawal assessed up to 10 days)
- The proportion of canalization aspects in peripheral catheter-related complications(From catheter insertion until the date of documented complication or catheter withdrawal assessed up to 10 days)
- Number of participants that present immobilization of the limb in both techniques(From catheter insertion until the date of documented complication or catheter withdrawal assessed up to 10 days)
