Ultrasound helps guide second try for neck IV placement
This study tests whether using ultrasound before the second attempt at placing a needle into a neck vein makes the procedure safer and more successful. It helps doctors find the best spot for the needle without guesswork.

This study uses ultrasound to look at a vein in your neck before and after major abdominal surgery to understand how surgery affects your kidneys. Researchers hope this simple imaging technique might help predict and prevent kidney problems after surgery.
This study uses ultrasound pictures of a large neck vein to help doctors place a central line and estimate the pressure inside the vein. It may improve the safety and accuracy of placing the line and reduce the need for more invasive pressure measurements.
This study compares two different ways of placing a central line (a special IV) in the neck under ultrasound guidance, for patients on breathing machines in the ICU. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective.
This study compares two ways of placing a central venous catheter (a small tube in a large neck vein) using ultrasound guidance. One method is the traditional approach, the other uses a newer syringe-free technique. The goal is to see which one is safer and easier.
This trial tests two ultrasound-guided methods for placing a catheter in the internal jugular vein in the neck. It aims to find which approach is safer and easier for patients needing this procedure.
This trial compares using ultrasound versus feeling for landmarks to place a central line in the neck (internal jugular vein). The goal is to see which method reduces the chance the catheter goes to the wrong spot.
