Ultrasound could make tough blood draws quicker and less painful

NCT ID NCT01789801

Summary

This study tested if using an ultrasound machine helps nurses draw blood from difficult-to-find arteries in the wrist. It compared the standard method of feeling for the artery with using ultrasound to see it on a screen. The goal was to see which method was more successful on the first try, caused less pain, and had fewer complications.
