Early preclinical experience of a mixed reality ultrasound system with active GUIDance for NEedle-based interventions: The GUIDE study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Use of ultrasound (US) to facilitate vascular access has increased compared to landmark-based procedures despite ergonomic challenges and need for extrapolation of 2-dimensional images to understand needle position. The MantUS™ system (Sentiar, Inc.,) uses a mixed reality (MxR) interface to display US images and integrate real-time needle tracking.

Objective

The purpose of this prospective preclinical study was to evaluate the feasibility and usability of MantUS in a simulated environment.

Methods

Participants were recruited from pediatric cardiology and critical care. Access was obtained in 2 vascular access training models: a femoral access model and a head and neck model for a total of 4 vascular access sites under 2 conditions-conventional US and MantUS
