结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Rating Scale for pain and anxiety
时间窗: Before catheter insertion
The number "0" on the scale means that they do not feel any pain / anxiety and the number "10" refers to the worst pain and the highest level of anxiety.
Vein Assessment Scale
时间窗: Before hot/cold application
There are 5 assessment steps: (1) veins are neither visible nor palpable, (2) veins are visible but not palpable, (3) veins are barely visible and palpable, (4) veins are visible and palpable, and (5) veins are clearly visible and easily palpable
次要结局
- Numeric Rating Scale for pain and anxiety(During catheter insertion)
- Vein Assessment Scale(Immediately before insertion of the catheter)
