Glow-in-the-dark vein finder may help nurses stick IVs on first try in ICU
NCT ID NCT06234293
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a near-infrared light device helps nurses insert a peripheral IV line on the first try in intensive care patients who have arm swelling. 380 adults with a central line that was no longer needed took part. The device uses light to show veins under the skin, which may make IV placement easier and reduce complications.
