Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: peripheral intravenous catheterization, using vein visualization device support, reduces the number of attempts for patient and the operation duration and increases the rate of first stick success.

Reviewers’ commentary: peripheral venous canalization devices reduce the number of attempts and the duration of the procedure and also increase the rate of success at the first attempt. This benefit would only be applicable to children with difficult canalization. More studies would be convenient given the discrepancy in the literature.
