Randomized Controlled Trial
Pain and Satisfaction Perceptions of Ultrasound-Guided Versus Conventional Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
While many emergency department (ED) patients need peripheral vascular catheterization, diagnosis and treatment are often delayed by difficult intravenous access (DIVA). ⋯ US-guided peripheral intravenous catheterization improves ED patient care, as it requires fewer catheterization attempts. It is especially recommended for patients with DIVA.
