Study Summary
Difficult venous access in some patients such as those with obesity, IV drug use, chronic illness, or vascular pathology often causes increased discomfort and delayed patient care due to multiple attempts to gain venous access. If access is achieved at all, it usually results in a much smaller catheter than needed to provide optimal care for the patient. Ultrasound-guided placement of a peripheral IV in the internal jugular vein is common in the investigators' emergency department and is gaining popularity across the US. This study investigates the utility and safety of placing an ultrasound-guided peripheral IV catheter in the internal jugular vein.
Primary Outcome
The primary study endpoint is successful cannulation vs failure to cannulate the internal jugular vein.
Interventions
- DEVICE Ultrasound
