The Effect of Near-infrared Spectroscopy on the Success of Peripheral Venous Access
The Effect of Near-infrared Spectroscopy on the Success of Peripheral Venous Access: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Study
Brno University Hospital
200 participants
Dec 15, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using near-infrared imaging in pediatric vein cannulation is leading to higher success rate. The main question it aims to answer is: is there higher success of first attempt in periferal vein cannulation? does it lower overall number of attempts to successful cannulation?
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- Pediatric patients admitted to the inpatient section of the Department of Pediatric Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, Brno University Hospital
- Pediatric patients in the anesthesia section of the Department of Pediatric Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, Brno University Hospital
- Indicated insertion of peripheral venous access
- Consent of the patient/legal representative to the study
Exclusion Criteria3
- Disagreement with the study
- Not indicated insertion of peripheral venous access (according to clinical condition and decision of the attending physician)
- A device for near-infrared imaging of the venous bed is not available

Interventions
The projected near-infrared light is absorbed by the blood and reflected by surrounding tissue, captured, processed, and digitally projected in real time directly onto the skin surface. It provides an accurate, real-time image of the patient's blood pattern. Patented VeinViewer technology using AVIN™ (Active Vascular Imaging Navigation) allows the blood vessels to be seen down to a depth of 10 mm. With VeinViewer, physicians can see peripheral veins, bifurcations, and valves and assess venous filling/flushing in real time.
