Study summary

The primary goal of this randomized, controlled, open-label study is to determine the efficacy of AccuveinV400 (a transillumination veins device) to facilitate peripheral intravenous (IVP) catheter placement during a vaso-oclusive crisis. The investigators hypothesized that the number of attempts to a successful placement of a peripheral IV, our primary outcome, would be shorter with the assistance of the Accuvein V400. It is also expected that AccuveinV400 will reduce the time of the procedure, the rate of failure, the technique-related pain.

  • Signed .
  • Affiliated to the French health care insurance.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Signs of shock
  • Acute chest Syndrome
  • Central venous catheter already present
  • Indication to have a central venous catheter from the ourset

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Accuvein V400 device

    In the Accuvein group, the nurse uses the Accuvein device to identify the veins before any puncture to infuse the patient and then proceeds as usual, under illumination of the device.

    Device: Accuvein V400 device

  • Active comparator
    Routine procedure

    In the control group, the nurse proceeds as usual to infuse the patient (visual identification in the light of the chamber and palpation)

    Other: Routine procedure

Interventions

  • DeviceAccuvein V400 device

    Sickle cell patients who need a new vein puncture in order to infuse them will benefit of AccuveinV400 device to illuminate their venous network

  • OtherRoutine procedure

    In the control group, the nurse proceeds as usual to infuse the patient (visual identification in the light of the chamber and palpation)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of venipunctures

    Number of venipunctures until the peripheral IV placement (with a retrograde blood sample) or before failure (discontinuation after at least 3 attempts by 2 nurses and a maximum of 9 attempts in total).

    Time frame: Time of the infusion procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time of the procedure

    Time from the tourniquet inflation to the insertion of the catheter with a retrograde blood sample was recorded with a chronometer

    Time frame: Time of the infusion procedure

  2. Procedure failure

    Percentage of the procedure failure

    Time frame: Time of the infusion procedure

  3. The need of a central venous catheter

    Percentage of use of a central venous catheter due to failure of peripheral perfusion.

    Time frame: Time of the infusion procedure

  4. Patient bone pain before and after the procedure

    Patient bone pain will be evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (between 0=no pain to10=intolerable pain) before and after the infusion procedure

    Time frame: Before and within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  5. Anxiety before and after the procedure

    Patient and nurse anxiety will be evaluated by a visual 5 points-Likert scale (between 1=not at all anxiety to 5=extremely anxious) of anxiety before and after the procedure

    Time frame: Just before and within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  6. Patient satisfaction (pain)

    Patient pain related to the procedure will be evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (between 0=no pain to10=intolerable pain)

    Time frame: Within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  7. Patient satisfaction (procedure)

    Patient satisfaction of the procedure will be evaluated by a visual 5-points Likert scale (between 1=not at all anxiety to 5=extremely anxious) of satisfaction of the procedure

    Time frame: Within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  8. Nurse satisfaction (procedure)

    Nurse global satisfaction of the procedure will be evaluated by Likert scale (between 1=not at all anxiety to 5=extremely anxious)

    Time frame: Within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  9. Nurse satisfaction (quality of placement)

    Nurse satisfaction of the quality of the peripheral intravenous placement will be evaluated by Likert scale (between 1=not at all anxiety to 5=extremely anxious)

    Time frame: Within 1 hour after a successful peripheral IV placement

  10. Qualitative interview of the Accuvein use

    Verbatim of a semi-structured interview by a psychologist of 10 to 15 patients (and their nurse) often hospitalized, in the Accuvein Arm

    Time frame: An average of one week after the procedure

  11. Side effects of the procedure

    Complication rate of the peripheral venous catheter procedure (hematoma, bleeding, malaise).

    Time frame: Time of the infusion procedure

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 13, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
