Spectral tissue sensing to identify intra- and extravascular needle placement - A randomized single-blind controlled trial.

Safe vascular access is a prerequisite for intravenous drug admission. Discrimination between intra- and extravascular needle position is essential for procedure safety. Spectral tissue sensing (STS), based on optical spectroscopy, can provide tissue information directly from the needle tip. The pri...
