Use of a new ultrasound device designed for babies to look at the catheters in veins and arteries as well as the blood vessel itself. An observational study to assess the the clinicians perception of the ultrasound image quality as a tool to detect catheters in vessels.
The intent of the study is to confirm the maximum penetration of the NICU-Tech RM9L-RS probe. The investigators collected images on patients with PIV (Peripheral Intra Venous)/PAC (Peripheral Arterial Catheter) and central line catheters. The investigators collected images of deep vessel structures for offline processing to improve NICU-Tech algorithms for vessel segmentation.
