Ultrasound for Vascular Access
$48,800 | New
Starting an IV can be painful and stressful—especially for frail older adults, children, and patients on blood-thinning medications.
Multiple blind attempts increase the risk of bruising, bleeding, and infection, adding unnecessary discomfort to a patient’s hospital
experience.
A dedicated, portable ultrasound for vascular access allows nurses to clearly see veins beneath the skin, improving first-attempt
success and reducing complications. With your support, we can give our care teams a better way to see what’s beneath the
surface and provide care with greater precision and compassion. With nearly 100 IVs placed at GBGH every day, having a
dedicated ultrasound for our inpatient units will allow for efficient and gentle care around the clock.
