Summary
This study tests whether using an augmented reality headset (Microsoft HoloLens 2) can help doctors place IVs and central lines with ultrasound guidance. About 50 patients who need these procedures will take part. The goal is to see if the technology improves success rates, reduces needle sticks, and speeds up the process.
