Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameter is success at first attempt (defined as the percentage of procedures in which the venous cannulation succeeded at the first attempt. An attempt is a penetration with a needle through the skin.)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Number of punctures; 2. Time to successful cannulation, if the procedure succeeded or not and if the VL was helpful or not. Timing starts at the moment the first attempt is made to search for a suitable vessel, by palpating or looking (with the system in use, looking with the system) and ends at the moment the line is flushed.	—
