About this study
After being informed about the study, patients who give consent will have their peripheral inserted central catheter placed by a physician wearing mixed reality smart glasses. The mixed reality smart glasses will have an application that allows the physician to measure distances with their hands. This application will be used to measure the appropriate length for which to trim the central catheter.
