Official title
Application of Augmented Reality for Point of Care Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
Overview
This study will investigate the benefits of augmented reality assistance on ultrasound-guided vascular access. Using the Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset, the investigators will study the benefits of augmented reality technology as a tool for improving the success rate, efficiency, and ease of access for peripheral venous catheters, peripherally inserted central venous catheters, and central venous catheters.
