Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is any difference between the use of standard techniques, ultrasonography and infra-red light for the success of the first attempt in difficult peripheral vascular access patients. Patients who have difficult vascular access history ( often need 2 or more attempt to access peripheral intravenous catheter), who do not have palpable or visible vein after tourniquet, and who have the hard anticipation according to operator ( easy-moderate-hard) are included to study. The primary objective is planned as the determination of the success rate in the first attempt. Secondary aims of the study were determined as: total procedure time,total number of attempts, and need for rescue procedure
