Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All consecutive patients aged less than 18 years, undergoing elective, non-cardiac surgery, will be included in the present trial.
Exclusion criteria: N/A

Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender:
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Vessel visualization, Venipuncture, Venous cannulation, Infrared

Intervention(s)
The VascuLuminator is the investigational product in this study. It is able to non-invasively visualize blood vessels by means of near-infrared light.

The intervention consists of the use of the device by the pediatric anesthetist or anesthetic nurse during the puncture. There will be no extra intervention on the patient, since the patient already is obtaining a puncture as part of their normal treatment.
Primary Outcome(s)
The main study parameter is the percentage of procedures in which more than one puncture is required for successful venous cannulation (i.e. failure rate).
Secondary Outcome(s)
1. Secondary parameters will be the number of punctures and the duration of the procedure. The duration of the procedure starts at the moment the first attempt is made to search for a suitable vessel, by palpating or looking (with the system in use, looking with the system) and ends at the moment the line is flushed;

2. Patient characteristics such as skin color, length and weigth and age, are measured.
