Central Venous Line Placement: Two Ultrasound Techniques Compared
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
