Compare two sites for dialysis catheter placement
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether placing a dialysis catheter in one location (subclavian/near the collarbone) is as good as placing it in another (jugular/neck) for patients who need a temporary dialysis catheter. It aims to reduce problems like vein narrowing caused by catheter placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a temporary dialysis catheter expected to be used for at least 7 days.
- You can give informed consent to join the study.
- You do not already have a pacemaker lead or a PICC line using the right-sided central veins.
- You do not have known right-sided vein narrowing from previous issues, like “known right-sided CVS.”
- You have no right-side right arm fistula and no right-sided internal jugular or right subclavian catheter already in place.

This study compares two techniques for inserting a temporary dialysis catheter into a neck vein to see which one works better. It may help patients who need dialysis access.
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 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 tests a new way to place a central line (a tube in a large vein) using ultrasound and a special ECG technique to improve accuracy. It may help people in intensive care who need this procedure.
This study tests a specific ultrasound-guided technique to place a central venous catheter (a medical access line) when jugular veins are difficult to access. It may help reduce failed attempts and improve safety in people who need this kind of line for medical care.
This study tests a new device that lets you use just one needle for dialysis instead of two. It might make treatments more comfortable and simpler.
