First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a laser-assisted ultrasound device helps doctors place IV lines more successfully on the first try in patients having heart surgery.

The main goal is to see if the laser tool improves the first-attempt success rate.
