Pre-hospital Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Venous Catheter Insertion

Prehospital Clinical Trial

Official title: Two Different Techniques for Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Venous Catheter Insertion in Pre-hospital Emergency Care - Randomized Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates two different techniques for ultrasound guided peripheral venous catheter insertion in pre-hospital emergency care in comparison with conventional approach without any ultrasound guidance.

Clinical Trial Description

Peripheral venous catheter placement is one of the most common interventions in emergency medicine. When performed by conventional approach, the failure of the first attempt occurs up to 22 % and cannulation time exceed 2 minutes in up to 15 %. Ultrasound guidance of peripheral venous catheter (PVC) insertion may improve both. However, this approach has not been verified in the setting of pre-hospital emergency care so far. ;
