Testing where a neck catheter is placed during anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at the best spot to place an internal jugular (neck) catheter when you are having surgery under general anesthesia. It may help make catheter placement safer and more comfortable by comparing techniques.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have surgery under general anesthesia (you will be asleep).
- You are willing to sign consent to join the study.
- You do not have an injury to your neck bones (cervical spine injury).
- You do not have unstable bones at the top of your neck (atlanto-axial instability).
- You do not have conditions that could raise pressure in your brain (increased intracranial pressure).

This study tests an ultrasound method to help place a line in the neck vein while you’re under general anesthesia. It mainly aims to improve how safely and accurately the line is positioned.
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 trial tests two methods for inserting a catheter (thin tube) into a large vein in the neck. The goal is to see which method works best on the first try.
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.
This trial tests three different methods (open surgical, modified Seldinger's, and ultrasound-guided) for placing a central line into the jugular vein in the neck of infants up to 2 years old. The goal is to find which method is safest and most effective for babies who need this procedure.
