Randomized Controlled TrialSuperiority of Dynamic Needle Tip Positioning for Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Venous Catheterization in Patients Younger Than 2 Years Old: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
This study evaluated whether the dynamic needle tip positioning technique increased the success rate of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheterization in pediatric patients with a small-diameter vein compared with the static ultrasound-guided technique. ⋯ Dynamic needle tip positioning increased the first-attempt and overall success rates of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheterization in pediatric patients less than 2 years old.
