First seen Nov 12, 2025 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 30 times

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 However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
