Study Summary

This trial assesses the best place to put a needle for IV access on the thigh.

Who is the study for?

This trial is open to both children and adults who visit or work in the emergency department, as well as those at additional training sites with emergency medicine residents. It's not for critically ill patients, those with inaccessible legs due to dressings or wounds, leg infections/injuries, prisoners, or anyone unable to consent verbally.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to evaluate the great saphenous vein (GSV) at the upper part of the inner thigh using ultrasound (US) technology. The goal is to determine if this vein can be a dependable option for inserting an IV when other veins are not usable.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this study involves non-invasive ultrasound imaging of a vein without any medication or surgical intervention, there are minimal expected side effects; however slight discomfort from the ultrasound probe pressure may occur.
