About this study

Peripheral venous catheter placement is one of the key tasks of an anesthesiologist, which needs to be completed before surgery in general anesthesia. The reported success rate of peripheral venous cannulation, when performed in a conventional manner, without any special technical tools which facilitate finding the peripheral vein, is only 51% during the first trial. However, up to 7% of patients require more than three cannulation trials. Ultrasound guidance of peripheral venous catheter insertion may increase success rate and shorten time to securing peripheral cannula. However, this approach has not been verified in the setting of operating theatre so far. This project aims to set the role of ultrasound guided venous cannulation in operating theatre.

Treatment and study plan

Peripheral vein cannulation

Procedure

The target vein is directly identified by ultrasound, the procedure of peripheral venous catheter insertion is performed conventionally, without ultrasound guidance

Cannulation without ultrasound

Procedure

Cannulation is done the conventional way without any ultrasound use.

Time frame: 60 minutes

Compare number of attempts that was necessary to secure peripheral vein.
Number of Complication After and During Securing Peripheral Vein

Time frame: 24 hours

Compare complication rate after securing peripheral vein with both methods.
Time Needed to Secure Peripheral Vein

Time frame: 60 minutes

Compare time that was need to secure peripheral vein in both methods.
