What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the benefits of using augmented reality technology during ultrasound-guided vascular access procedures. It focuses on improving the success rate, efficiency, and ease of placing peripheral venous catheters, peripherally inserted central venous catheters, and central venous catheters. The study is sponsored by the University of Alabama at Birmingham and does not involve blinding. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive ultrasound-guided vascular access without augmented reality assistance, while the other group will have the procedure performed with the help of a Microsoft HoloLens 2 augmented reality headset. The study compares the use of this technology to standard care during vascular access. During the study, researchers will measure the success of vascular access by confirming blood return and guide wire advancement within 30 minutes. They will also track the number of needle sticks and the time needed to achieve successful access. Participants will be monitored throughout the procedure to assess these outcomes and the overall impact of augmented reality assistance.
