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 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 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 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.
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 creates a simple score to predict how easy or hard it will be to place a central line in your neck using ultrasound. The goal is to help doctors plan safer and more successful procedures.
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.
