Trial summary

This study was conducted to investigate the use of Veinlite LED+ (TransLite, Sugar Land, Tex) to assist with PIC placement. The Veinlite uses LED (light-emitting diode) lights to enhance the visualization of veins by using orange and red color that are absorbed in venous blood. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Can Veinlite Reduce Complications of Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement in Children: Preliminary Results.

This study was conducted to investigate the use of Veinlite LED+ (TransLite, Sugar Land, Tex) to assist with PIC placement. The Veinlite uses LED (light-emitting diode) lights to enhance the visualization of veins by using orange and red color that are absorbed in venous blood.

The investigators' hypothesis for this study was that the vein imaging would reduce the complications related to catheter and the pain that the participants would feel.

Read the detailed description

Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization (PIC) introduces multiple risks and potential morbidities. Patients with PIC-associated complications have longer length of stay, higher clinical and economic burden, and greater risk of death than patients without. The most serious complications due to intravenous (IV) catheters are infiltration and extravasation.

The primary endpoint was to evaluate whether Veinlite LED+ would prevent catheter-related complications.

The secondary endpoint were;

  1. to evaluate the efficacy of the vein imaging device on pediatric pain during intravenous catheterization
  2. to evaluate the efficacy of the vein imaging device on catheter dwell time.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Reducing number of complications related with peripheral intravenous catheter

    Reducing number of complications related with peripheral intravenous catheter during treatment

    Measured: Duration of catheter dwell time (up to 168 hours)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain scores during peripheral intravenous catheterization

    Pain scores by child, nurse, and parent. In this study, numerical rating score was used for determine pain level. The numeric rating scale is one of the most commonly used to obtain self-reports of pain intensity in school-age children, adolescents, and adults. The numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the child to rate her/his pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: Immediately after IV placement

  2. Catheter dwell time

    Intravenous catheter survival time during the treatment

    Measured: Up to 168 hours (1 week)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Veinlite in people with Catheterization and Pain, run by Ege University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reducing number of complications related with peripheral intravenous catheter (time frame: Duration of catheter dwell time (up to 168 hours)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Feb 2022.
