Ultrasound-guided neck IV placement in ICU patients
This study compares two different ways of placing a central line (a special IV) in the neck under ultrasound guidance, for patients on breathing machines in the ICU. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You need a central line (a special IV placed in a large vein) while on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit
- You have no bleeding problems or blood-clotting issues that could make the procedure unsafe
- You do not have any known blood clots in the vein where the line would go
- You have no infections or skin irritation at the insertion site
- You have not had any previous procedures in the neck area where the line would be placed

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 study compares three different methods for inserting a central line (a soft tube that delivers medicine or nutrition) into a large vein in the neck of infants. The goal is to see which method is safest and most effective for babies up to 2 years old.
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 tests whether using ultrasound before the second attempt at placing a needle into a neck vein makes the procedure safer and more successful. It helps doctors find the best spot for the needle without guesswork.
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.
