| Summary: | The problem of peripheral dit11cult venous access (PDVA) occurs f()r the patients
with different physiological characteristics during the intravenous (IV) catheterization
process. Patients suffer with pain and trauma if they need more than one attempt tor
proper catheter placement. In order to overcome the PDV A problem this research
explores the near infrared (NIR) imaging modality for the localization of
subcutaneous veins. There are few systems and devices available for veins
localization but none of them until now is proven effective for all skin tone patients,
wearable, easy to use and standardized. The overall goal of this work is to provide an
effective solution to the PDV A problem using NIR imaging for veins localization
during IV catheterization process. |
