Comparing two ways to place a neck vein catheter
This trial tests two methods for inserting a catheter (thin tube) into a large vein in the neck. The goal is to see which method works best on the first try.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 70 years old.
- You need a catheter placed in the internal jugular vein (a large vein in your neck).
- You are willing to cooperate during the procedure.
- You do not have a history of neck surgery.
- You have not had a catheter in this vein before.
- You are not on hemodialysis (kidney dialysis) through a double-lumen catheter in the neck.
- Your platelet count is at least 50,000 and your INR (blood clotting time) is within normal range.

This study tests whether an ultrasound can better guide placement of a neck vein tube and help estimate your body's fluid status, aiming to make the procedure safer and more accurate.
This trial looks at the best spot to place an internal jugular (neck) catheter when you are having surgery under general anesthesia. It may help make catheter placement safer and more comfortable by comparing techniques.
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 creates a simple score to predict how easy or hard it will be to place a central line in your neck using ultrasound. The goal is to help doctors plan safer and more successful procedures.
