This study is comparing two different methods nurses use to place an intravenous (IV) drip, which is needed for many cancer treatments.\n\nTraditional method: The nurse finds a vein by touch and sight.\n\nUltrasound-guided method: The nurse uses a small, handheld ultrasound scanner to see the vein under the skin to help guide the needle.\n\nWhy is it important? Sometimes it can take more than one attempt to get an IV drip in place, which can be uncomfortable. For cancer patients, whose veins can be more fragile, this is a common challenge. This research will help us find out if using ultrasound helps get the IV in successfully on the first try more often, which can make the treatment experience better.\n\nWhat does participation involve? If you choose to take part, you will be randomly assigned (like a coin toss) to have your IV placed with either the traditional method or the ultrasound method. The research team will then collect some information about the IV placement. Your participation is entirely voluntary and will not affect your standard medical care.",[93],"Cancer","2026-04-28",{"date":96,"type":97},"2026-04-29","ACTUAL",{"date":99,"type":97},"2025-10-20",{"date":101,"type":87},"2026-05-30",{"name":5,"class":6},2]
