Clinical Trial to investigate whether the use of a novel device to be used in conjunction with ultrasound in pediatric vessel cannulations is superior to ultrasound-only pediatric vessel cannulations in terms of number of cannulation attempts.
Use of needle guidance plus ultrasound imaging for CVC placement in the pediatric high-risk population may facilitate the procedure with a single needle pass and decrease the incidence of adverse effects by minimizing additional needle passes. This study will compare the use of ultrasound-only guidance with the Clear Guide SCENERGY guidance in terms of successful first-attempt vessel cannulations such as internal jugular and fermoral artery access. The question is whether it is possible to make ultrasound-guided pediatric vascular access less technically challenging in order to improve adoption and utilization leading to decreased iatrogenic complications and improved patient safety.

Use of the SCENERGY guidance device in conjunction with ultrasound to guide needles for pediatric vessel cannulations
Children's National Medical Center
Washington D.C., District of Columbia, United States
RECRUITINGSuccessful first-attempt vessel cannulation
Test if the vessel cannulation was successful with only 1 attempt --needle puncture--to reach the vessel
Time frame: 1 hour
Non-IR Personnel Successfully Cannulate Pediatric Patients
Test if non-specialists can learn to successfully cannulate pediatric patients with only 1 needle puncture.
Time frame: 1 hour
Point-of-Care Successful Cannulation
Test whether the SCENERGY makes possible successful pediatric vessel cannulations at patient's point of care location.
Time frame: 1 hour
