Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Reducing the time to successful intravenous cannulation in anaesthetised children with poor vein visibility using a near-infrared device: A randomised multicentre trial.
During inhalational induction of anaesthesia for children, severe respiratory events can occur but can be rapidly treated once intravenous access is in place. Reducing the time to successful cannulation during inhalational induction for children with poor vein visibility would improve safety. ⋯ NCT01685866 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).
