Abstract

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound guidance increases the success rate of peripheral intravenous catheter placement. However, the longer time required to obtain ultrasound-guided access poses difficulties for ultrasound beginners. Notably, interpretation of ultrasonographic images is considered as one of the main reasons of difficulty in using ultrasound for catheter placement. Therefore, an automatic vessel detection system (AVDS) using artificial intelligence was developed. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of AVDS for ultrasound beginners in selecting puncture points and determine suitable users for this system.
