Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Mean VAS scale (VAS-P: pain of procedure) in either groupsTimepoint: At the time of cannulation	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To assess & compare the time taken to do a peripheral venous cannulation in either approaches. 2. To assess & compare the ease of peripheral venous cannulation in either approaches in terms of rate of first pass success, number of needle passes prior to success in either approaches 3. To assess & compare the proportion of cases having an orientation crossover,site crossover, operator change 4. To assess & compare proportion of complications/ adverse effects if anyTimepoint: 1. Stopwatch starts just before the attempt to cannulation, upto the point when the Cannula tip is visualised in the lumen in long axis orientation	—
