VEID lacks reported outcomes for pediatric intravenous starts in the truncated abstract.
Why the study?
A device that provides immediate feedback upon vein entry during pediatric IV cannulation was evaluated to improve procedural success.
Observational (n=202)

May aid pediatric IV access; leaves open whether it improves success rates or reduces attempts in randomized trials.
Israeli investigators evaluated the novel Vein Entry Indicator Device (VEID) in 202 pediatric patients (age range, 3 months to 17 years; mean age, 4.5 years) who required an intravenous start for general anesthesia. This small device, approved by the FDA, attaches to any female Luer Lock IV catheter. The device detects pressure changes when the vein is entered, emitting a beep within 0.1 seconds to alert the operator to …
