Comparison of Three Techniques for Ultrasound-guided Internal Jugular Cannulation: Long Axis, In-plane Needle v. Short Axis, Out-of-plane Needle v. Oblique Axis, In-plane Needle
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach for Ultrasound-guided Internal Jugular Cannulation and Central Venous Access Complications. Completed, enrolled 220 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of three ultrasound assistance techniques for internal jugular venous cannulation, in terms of cannulation success and prevention of complications.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The physician will use an ultrasound machine to perform an ultrasound-guided internal jugular venous cannulation: the needle and the vein will be visualized in real time in the ultrasound image to make the cannulation process easier and safer. In each one of three study arms, however, the ultrasound approach will be different depending on the axis on wich the vein is visualized (longitudinal, transversal or oblique) and the way the needle enters the ultrasound plane (in-plane or out of plane).
