ER tech showdown: which device finds your vein quicker?

NCT ID NCT02618252

Summary

This study aimed to see if an ultrasound machine or a special near-infrared light device (called a VeinViewer) works better to find veins in adults who are hard to stick for an IV in the emergency room. The goal was to reduce wait times and improve the first-attempt success rate for placing an IV line. However, the trial was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled.
