Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the appearance of complications after the insertion of peripheral venous catheters with two different techniques (traditional and ultrasound-guided).

Detailed description

All patients, whose parents were informed about the study and give written informed consent, will be randomized in a double-blind manner (participant and investigator) in a 1:1 ratio to visualization/palpation or ultrasound-guided peripheral catheter insertion. All participants undergo a 10 days monitoring of the catheter status.

Conditions

• Catheter Related Complication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Traditional Peripheral venous catheter insertion	Insertion of a short catheter in a peripheral vein with the help of visualization palpation
PROCEDURE	Ultrasound-guided insertion of a peripheral venous catheter	Insertion of a short catheter in a peripheral vein with the help of an ultrasound device
