简要总结
This randomized study compared two ultrasound-guided techniques for placing a peripheral intravenous cannula in adults aged 20 to 60 years who required intravenous access. Participants were assigned equally to either the short-axis out-of-plane approach or the long-axis in-plane approach. The study evaluated whether the techniques differed in successful cannulation. It also compared cannulation time, number of attempts, and immediate complications, including arterial puncture, extravasation, and haematoma.
详细描述
This single-centre, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesiology at Medical Teaching Institution-Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan.
A total of 222 eligible adults requiring peripheral intravenous access were enrolled through consecutive sampling. Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio using a computer-generated sequence. In the short-axis group, the ultrasound probe was positioned perpendicular to the target vein to obtain a transverse image, and the needle was advanced using an out-of-plane technique. In the long-axis group, the probe was positioned parallel to the vein to obtain a longitudinal image, and the needle was advanced in plane while maintaining visualization of the needle tip. Experienced anaesthesiologists performed all procedures.
Cannulation was considered successful when the catheter advanced without resistance, blood returned freely into the hub, and saline could be flushed without local swelling. The primary outcome was successful peripheral intravenous cannulation. Secondary outcomes included cannulation time, number of attempts, and immediate complications comprising arterial puncture, extravasation, and haematoma. No delayed follow-up outcomes were assessed.
