Interventions

  • Ultrasound-guided venipuncture — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    Venipuncture will be performed using ultrasound to identify the most appropriate vessel and guide the puncture

Study Details

This study will test the feasibility of ultrasound-guided sterile blood sampling for critically ill patients with suspected sepsis requiring blood culture. The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the use of ultrasound for blood cultures in a population of patients which can present difficult venous access and requiring more than one venipuncture attempt in general clinical practice

100 participants (estimated)

Arms

  • Arm: Patient requiring blood culture
    After the request of treating physician of blood culture, each patient deemed eligible, will undergo the prescirbed couple of peripheral blood samples. The first one will be done with the classical blind technique, while the second one with ultrasound guidance.

Primary Outcome Measure
