The objective of this research is to verify the procedural improvements enabled by use of a
CAIG system to supplement existing ultrasound guided, needle-based procedures. The primary
focus will be procedures performed by the Anesthesia department.
CAIG system to supplement existing ultrasound guided, needle-based procedures. The primary
focus will be procedures performed by the Anesthesia department.
The study will utilize two groups of patients: control and test. The control group will
receive the procedure with traditional methods and equipment currently in use at Cooper
University. The test group will receive the same procedure utilizing existing ultrasound
equipment with the supplemental CAIG system. It is anticipated that 100 patients will be
included in the study. After each procedure completion times, number of needle repositions,
and punctures will be recorded along with an "ease of procedure" self-reported qualitative
metric from the physician performing the procedure.
