AR Ruler to Improve Safety and Clinical Workflow During PICC Placement

Augmented Reality Ruler to Improve Safety and Clinical Workflow During Placement of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters

The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of an augmented reality virtual ruler during placement of peripherally inserted central catheters.

After being informed about the study, patients who give consent will have their peripheral inserted central catheter placed by a physician wearing mixed reality smart glasses. The mixed reality smart glasses will have an application that allows the physician to measure distances with their hands. This application will be used to measure the appropriate length for which to trim the central catheter.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Scheduled for a non-emergent peripherally inserted central catheter placement in Interventional Radiology
• Over 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

• Undergoing an emergent peripherally inserted central catheter placement
• Younger than 18 years old
