Novel Device for Ultrasound-guided Pediatric Vessel Cannulations

Clinical Trial to investigate whether the use of a novel device to be used in conjunction with ultrasound in pediatric vessel cannulations is superior to ultrasound-only pediatric vessel cannulations in terms of number of cannulation attempts.

About this study

Use of needle guidance plus ultrasound imaging for CVC placement in the pediatric high-risk population may facilitate the procedure with a single needle pass and decrease the incidence of adverse effects by minimizing additional needle passes. This study will compare the use of ultrasound-only guidance with the Clear Guide SCENERGY guidance in terms of successful first-attempt vessel cannulations such as internal jugular and fermoral artery access. The question is whether it is possible to make ultrasound-guided pediatric vascular access less technically challenging in order to improve adoption and utilization leading to decreased iatrogenic complications and improved patient safety.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • any pediatric patient scheduled for a vessel cannulation at CNMC

Exclusion criteria

  • none

Treatment and study plan

SCENERGY

Device

Use of the SCENERGY guidance device in conjunction with ultrasound to guide needles for pediatric vessel cannulations

Primary outcomes

  1. Successful first-attempt vessel cannulation

    Time frame: 1 hour

    Test if the vessel cannulation was successful with only 1 attempt --needle puncture--to reach the vessel

Secondary outcomes

  1. Non-IR Personnel Successfully Cannulate Pediatric Patients

    Time frame: 1 hour

    Test if non-specialists can learn to successfully cannulate pediatric patients with only 1 needle puncture.

  2. Point-of-Care Successful Cannulation

    Time frame: 1 hour

    Test whether the SCENERGY makes possible successful pediatric vessel cannulations at patient's point of care location.
