SUGAR LAND, Texas, Oct. 02, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a recently published randomized controlled study, TransLite's Veinlite PEDI® was compared to the Standard of Care for peripheral IV access. The use of Veinlite PEDI® was found to deliver superior results in all key performance indicators, including first time IV access success rate, required number of attempts, and total time of attempts.
The clinical study was completed by Merve Gümüş, RN, MSc and Zümrüt Başbakkal, PhD, on a sample of 110 pediatric patients (58 boys and 52 girls), between the ages of 1 and 10. PIC intervention is widely regarded to be a challenging task, especially among children, who have smaller blood vessels, more adipose tissue, and are more difficult to communicate with.
The conclusion states, "The use of new technology in the Veinlite PEDI to assist with peripheral IV access in children improves the first time success rate for IV access. These results suggest that the new technology of the Veinlite results in better PIC access."
Notable Results:
- First attempt success rate of 92.9% using Veinlite PEDI compared with 72.7% for Standard of Care
- Veinlite group had fewer number of attempts compared to Standard of Care
- Veinlite group resulted in shorter total time of attempts per patient compared to Standard of Care
These results demonstrate the efficacy of Veinlite PEDI® in improving patient satisfaction and enabling medical professionals to be more effective in the process.
