NCT ID NCT07182994
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two ways of holding a child's arm during IV placement in the emergency department: immobilizing the elbow joint versus using an arm restraint without elbow immobilization. Researchers enrolled 322 children and measured success on the first try, number of attempts, time to success, and pain. The goal is to find which method works best to make IV placement faster and less stressful for kids.
