Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To access the success rate of first attempt cannulation by both NEAR INFRA RED SPECTROSCOPY TORCH and standard vein viewing methodTimepoint: the number of successful first attempt in placing IV access is noted—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the average number of pricks required to achieve a patent successful IV cannulation by NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY and srandard vein viewing method.Timepoint: the number of attempts required to place an IV access is noted.;To compare the cannulation time required by NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY torch and standard vein viewing method in establishing successful IV cannulation.Timepoint: Duration in seconds. time taken from the initiation of vein search to completion of securing IV access is noted.—
