Overview
The placement of an intravenous (IV) line is a common procedure when treating adult patients in critical care, in the emergency room or in the operating room. This simple and minimally invasive procedure can sometimes be made difficult depending on the patient's morphology or their clinical condition. The procedure then becomes time-consuming, anxiety-provoking, painful and its success is uncertain. The placement of intravenous (IV) lines under ultrasound by nurses is a rapidly developing alternative in intensive care, emergencies and the operating room.
Detailed description
The main objective is to test the hypothesis that intravenous puncture guided by an ultraportable ultrasound machine is faster than puncture guided by a conventional ultrasound machine.
Interventions
- Device Standard ultrasound
Placement of IV line using standard ultrasound. - Device Ultra-portable ultrasound
Placement of IV line using ultra-portable ultrasound.
Primary outcome measures
- Intravenous (IV) line placement time [Time frame: Day 0]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- Placement of the IV line successfully obtained from the first puncture [Time frame: 12 months (estimated)]
- Number of skin perforations [Time frame: Day 0]
- Overall success rate after 3 punctures [Time frame: Day 0]
- Use an alternative solution (central catheter) [Time frame: Day 0]
- Patient satisfaction with IV line placement [Time frame: Day 0]
- Nurse satisfaction with IV line placement [Time frame: Day 0]
- Immediate complications related to intravenous access [Time frame: Day 0]
- Delayed complications related to intravenous access [Time frame: Day 7]
- Date of IV line placement and removal [Time frame: Day 7]
