No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07550764). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Ataturk University. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 160 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Lung Cancer (Diagnosis). Interventions: DEVICE: Near-infrared vein visualization-assisted catheterization; PROCEDURE: Routine Catheterization. Primary outcome measures: Procedure-Specific Patient Comfort Assessed by the Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Comfort Scale (PIVCCS) , Immediately after the catheterization procedure (within 30 minutes); Procedural Pain Intensity Assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) , Immediately after the catheterization procedure (within 30 minutes); Patient Trust in Nurses Assessed by the Trust in Nurses Scale , Immediately after the catheterization procedure (within 30 minutes). Brief summary: This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of near-infrared (NIR) vein visualization-assisted peripheral intravenous catheterization on procedure-specific patient comfort, procedural pain and patient trust in nurses in adults with lung cancer receiving outpatient chemotherapy. Patients receiving chemotherapy often develop progressive venous damage, which can make peripheral intravenous catheterization difficult. Failed attempts may increase pain and discomfort and may affect the patient's trust in the nurse. The study used an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design (QUAN→qual). In the quantitative phase, 160 patients were randomized 1:1 to NIR-assisted catheterization or to standard catheterization based on visual inspection and palpation. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 11 patients from the intervention group to explore their experiences with the NIR device. The study was conducted at the Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit of Ataturk University Research Hospital, Erzurum, Turkey, as part of a doctoral thesis in Fundamentals of Nursing.
