Summary
This study tested a bundle of tools—a vein imaging device and a special catheter—to see if it improves IV insertion success, reduces complications, and lowers pain in children aged 1 to 6. Researchers enrolled 800 children in a pediatric emergency department. The goal is to make a common but stressful procedure easier for young patients.
