Comparing two ways to place a jugular vein catheter
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not had this procedure done in the last month
- You do not have an injury, infection, or bruising at the puncture site
- You have not had surgery on the right side of your neck and your neck moves freely

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 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 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 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 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 methods for placing a central line in your neck: one uses ultrasound imaging to guide the needle, the other uses only body landmarks. The goal is to find which method is safer and more successful.
