Handheld ultrasound versus standard machines for placement of peripheral IV catheters: A randomized, non-inferiority study
HHU was noninferior to CBUS for successful USGIV placement. There was no difference in the rate of first attempt success at placement or USGIV survival to a patient's ED disposition between groups. No significant additional training was required for ED providers of all levels to use the HHUs.
