Ultrasound-guided central line placement study
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in or being admitted to the intensive care unit (critical care)
- You need a central line as part of your normal care
- You can have the line placed in either side of your neck
- You do not have an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) on an ECG

This study looks at whether frailty (how well your body handles stress) affects how easy it is to place a central line (a special IV) in your neck during heart surgery. It may help doctors improve care for people having heart procedures.
This Phase 4 study looks at how to place a large IV line (called a central line) in the emergency department using ultrasound guidance. It may help patients by improving how safely and effectively these lines are placed, especially in urgent situations.
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 two ways to place an IV (a small tube that gives you medicine or fluids through a vein). One method uses ultrasound to find the best vein, the other uses the traditional method. It aims to see if ultrasound helps make IV placement easier and more successful.
This trial is studying whether using ultrasound to guide the placement of a PICC line (a tube into a vein) is safer and more accurate. It also checks the vein's health at the same time.
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.
