Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a continuous needle tracking system on the accuracy, speed, and quality of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheter insertion.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Catheter Related Complication Device: Randomized Traditional Device: Cue(TM) Needle Tracking Technology

Detailed Description:
A pilot study using simulated tissue was conducted with 49 US-based emergency department nurses to compare insertion of a midline catheter using traditional ultrasound guidance versus an advanced needle-tracking technology along with traditional ultrasound guidance.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Randomized Traditional
Randomized to traditional ultrasound guided peripheral insertion placement vs placement with Cue needle tracking technology
Device: Randomized Traditional
Traditional ultrasound guidance was utilized to insert Midlines on simulated veins blocks not live patients
Other Name: Randomized Traditional Ultrasound method

Device: Cue(TM) Needle Tracking Technology
Cue(TM) Needle Tracking Technology with real time needle tip tracking is used to assist ultrasound guided midline insertions on simulated veins blocks not live patients

Radomized Cue Needle Tracking technology
Randomized to traditional ultrasound guided peripheral insertion placement vs placement with Cue needle tracking technology
Device: Randomized Traditional
Traditional ultrasound guidance was utilized to insert Midlines on simulated veins blocks not live patients
Other Name: Randomized Traditional Ultrasound method

Device: Cue(TM) Needle Tracking Technology
Cue(TM) Needle Tracking Technology with real time needle tip tracking is used to assist ultrasound guided midline insertions on simulated veins blocks not live patients




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Insertion Success [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Number of attempts required to properly place a needle tip in the simulated vessel

  2. Insertion Time [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Time required to successfully insert a needle tip into a simulated vessel

  3. Backwalling Events [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Events where the needle fully transects the simulated blood vessel during the inserting of the needle tip into a simulated vessel

  4. Needle redirects [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Lateral movement and deflection of the needle tip during insertion into a simulated vessel

  5. Accuracy of Needle Placement [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Accuracy of needle placement as indicated by the lateral distance from a target


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Self-reported subjective measurements [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    Post-study questions were used to assess confidence during insertion with Cue needle tracking system (likert), confidence when insertion with traditional ultrasound techniques (likert), preference between the cue needle tracking system and the standard of care
