An observational study in Peripheral Vascular Access in Pediatric Patients, Peptic Ulcer and Cataract, sponsored by Sibel Seçkin Pehlivan. Not yet recruiting at 6 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 0 Days to 18 Days. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-02.
Sponsored by Sibel Seçkin Pehlivan · Observational
The study was designed as a prospective, observational study. Pediatric patients under 18 years of age scheduled for peripheral vascular access placement during day-case surgery or non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) will be included. The primary outcomes include time to successful vascular access, number of attempts, and number of interventions (defined as each new skin entry of the needle). These outcomes will be compared between two groups: those who receive vascular access with the aid of a vascular imaging device and those in whom such a device is not used.
193 studies on the registry are indexed under Peptic Ulcer; 31 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 500 is above the median of 391 across 43 observational studies indexed under Peptic Ulcer.

Pediatric patients aged 0-18 years scheduled for day-case surgery or non-operating room anesthesia (NORA)
Patients requiring peripheral vascular access (those with a need for intravenous access)
Patients whose parent or legal guardian can provide written informed consent
Patients suitable for vascular access using a vascular imaging device
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients requiring emergency surgery or urgent intervention
Patients whose parent or legal guardian cannot provide informed consent
Patients with local extremity problems such as infection, edema, or wound that prevent peripheral vascular access placement
-
Pediatric patients undergoing peripheral vascular access with the use of a vascular imaging device. The intervention involves the application of real-time imaging guidance (e.g., near-infrared light or ultrasound) to facilitate successful and efficient cannulation.
Pediatric patients undergoing peripheral vascular access without the use of a vascular imaging device, relying on standard visual and palpation techniques.
The time to establish peripheral vascular access
The primary outcome measure is the time required to successfully establish peripheral vascular access, defined as the interval from the first needle insertion attempt to the confirmation of intravenous placement (e.g., blood return and/or free flow of saline). This metric will be recorded in seconds and compared between patients who receive vascular imaging assistance and those who do not.
Time frame: pre-intervention/procedure/surgery
number of attempts
The number of attempts refers to the total number of needle insertions required to achieve successful peripheral vascular access, with each attempt defined as a distinct skin puncture. An attempt is counted even if cannulation is not achieved. This outcome will be documented for each patient and compared between the group using vascular imaging devices and the group without such assistance.
Time frame: pre-intervention/procedure/surgery
number of interventions (each new skin entry of the needle)
The number of interventions refers to the total count of new skin entries made with the needle during peripheral vascular access attempts. Each distinct insertion of the needle through the skin, regardless of whether it occurs during the same cannulation effort or a subsequent repositioning, is recorded as a separate intervention. This metric will be used to assess procedural invasiveness and will be compared between patients who undergo vascular access with versus without vascular imaging device assistance
Time frame: pre-intervention/procedure/surgery
Plan to share: No — Individual participant data will not be shared due to institutional policies and ethical considerations regarding patient confidentiality. Data are stored securely in accordance with local regulations, and dissemination is limited to aggregated results to protect the privacy of pediatric patients involved in the study.
