Study Summary
The investigators hypothesize peripheral intravenous cannulation (insertion of tube into vein) will be facilitated (decreases the number of attempts) by a passive leg raise (raising the legs at the hip to 45 degree in a child laying on their back) in children.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: IV Cannulation With Passive Leg RaiseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will be randomized to either the passive leg raise (PLR) group or standard care (control group). In both groups baseline measurements of a peripheral vein diameter using ultrasound will be undertaken at the level of the left antecubital fossa with and without a proximally placed venous tourniquet.
Those in the passive leg raise (PLR) group will have their legs elevated to 45 degrees until successful peripheral IV (PIV) placement. A repeat diameter assessment of the previously assessed vein, number of PIV attempts, and time to successful IV cannulation (measured as the time from skin puncture to successful IV cannulation) will be recorded.
Group II: IV Cannulation Without Passive Leg RaiseActive Control1 Intervention
Patients will be randomized to either the passive leg raise (PLR) group or standard care (control group). In both groups baseline measurements of a peripheral vein diameter using ultrasound will be undertaken at the level of the left antecubital fossa with and without a proximally placed venous tourniquet.
Those in the control group will then have a peripheral IV (PIV) placed in the ipsilateral arm as the baseline measurements, the number of attempts to successful PIV placement will be recorded. A repeat diameter assessment of the previously assessed vein, number of PIV attempts, and time to successful IV cannulation (measured as the time from skin puncture to successful IV cannulation) will be recorded.
