An interventional study of Passive leg raise in Intravenous Access, sponsored by University of Saskatchewan. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 3 Months to 14 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-01-09.
Sponsored by University of Saskatchewan · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The investigators wish to determine whether passive leg raise allows for easier peripheral vascular access in the pediatric population. The investigators hypothesize that pediatric anesthesiologists will have higher rates of successful intravenous catheterization in children where a passive leg raise is employed.
University of Saskatchewan is the lead sponsor of 237 studies on the registry; 33 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participant's legs will be raised with a bolster prior to IV insertion.
Procedure: Passive leg raise
Participants will lie flat prior to IV insertion.
A baseline vein diameter will be obtained using ultrasound by the sub-investigator. Then a nurse will raise the child's legs using a bolster while a second measurement of the child's vein diameter is recorded by the sub-investigator. The anesthesiologist will then place the IV and rate the degree of difficulty encountered.
Mean change in peripheral vein diameter
Change between vein diameter at baseline and following group allocation.
Time frame: at 5 minutes
