Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study was conducted to investigate the use of Veinlite LED+ (TransLite, Sugar Land, Tex) to assist with PIC placement. The Veinlite uses LED (light-emitting diode) lights to enhance the visualization of veins by using orange and red color that are absorbed in venous blood.
The investigators' hypothesis for this study was that the vein imaging would reduce the complications related to catheter and the pain that the participants would feel.
Detailed Description
Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization (PIC) introduces multiple risks and potential morbidities. Patients with PIC-associated complications have longer length of stay, higher clinical and economic burden, and greater risk of death than patients without. The most serious complications due to intravenous (IV) catheters are infiltration and extravasation.
The primary endpoint was to evaluate whether Veinlite LED+ would prevent catheter-related complications.
The secondary endpoint were;
- to evaluate the efficacy of the vein imaging device on pediatric pain during intravenous catheterization
- to evaluate the efficacy of the vein imaging device on catheter dwell time.
