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 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 new way to place a central line (a special IV) using ultrasound and a heart-rhythm signal to guide it. The goal is to make the procedure safer by checking the vein's health beforehand.
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 two ways to place a central line (a large IV) in the neck of patients on breathing machines in the ICU. It uses ultrasound to guide the needle, aiming to make the procedure safer and more successful.
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.
