Two ways to place a neck line with ultrasound
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need a central venous catheter as part of your care in the operating room
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 40 or lower
- You must not have a severe bleeding disorder

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 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 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.
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 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.
