Pediatrics is arguably one of the most difficult patient populations for venipuncture procedures. Consider the challenges associated with pediatric vascular access: small veins, limited access points due to size and presence of “baby fat”, potentially higher risk patients and managing the anxiety of the children and their families.
These challenges are the reason that Pediatrics is typically one of the first areas within a facility to adopt VeinViewer
®.
