Central line placement without skin stretching
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to place a central line (a thin tube used to give medicine or fluids) in the neck vein without first stretching the skin. It aims to see if this method is safe and works well, possibly reducing discomfort for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need a central line placed in the internal jugular vein (a large vein in the neck).
- No infection at the spot where the catheter will be inserted.
- No medical condition that makes central line placement unsafe (like severe bleeding problems or allergy to numbing medicine).
- No blood clot in the internal jugular vein seen on imaging before the procedure.

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.
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 trial compares two different methods for inserting a central venous catheter (a tube into a large vein near your neck) using ultrasound guidance during surgery. Researchers want to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
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 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.
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.
