Short-Axis Versus Long-Axis Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral IV Cannulation in Adults
Sponsor: Lady Reading Hospital, Pakistan
Summary
This randomized study compared two ultrasound-guided techniques for placing a peripheral intravenous cannula in adults aged 20 to 60 years who required intravenous access. Participants were assigned equally to either the short-axis out-of-plane approach or the long-axis in-plane approach. The study evaluated whether the techniques differed in successful cannulation. It also compared cannulation time, number of attempts, and immediate complications, including arterial puncture, extravasation, and haematoma.

Interventions
Short-Axis Out-of-Plane Ultrasound-Guided Cannulation
The ultrasound probe was positioned perpendicular to the target vein to obtain a transverse image. A peripheral intravenous cannula was inserted by advancing the needle using the out-of-plane technique under real-time ultrasound guidance.
Long-Axis In-Plane Ultrasound-Guided Cannulation
The ultrasound probe was positioned parallel to the target vein to obtain a longitudinal image. A peripheral intravenous cannula was inserted by advancing the needle in plane while maintaining visualization of the needle tip under real-time ultrasound guidance.
