NCT ID NCT02618252
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to compare two devices—ultrasound and a near-infrared device called Vein Viewer—to see which helps emergency room staff start IVs faster in patients with difficult veins. The goal was to reduce delays in care. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
