Comparing two ways to place a neck catheter for dialysis
This study compares two techniques for inserting a temporary dialysis catheter into a neck vein to see which one works better. It may help patients who need dialysis access.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests whether placing a dialysis catheter in one location (subclavian/near the collarbone) is as good as placing it in another (jugular/neck) for patients who need a temporary dialysis catheter. It aims to reduce problems like vein narrowing caused by catheter placement.
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 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 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.
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.
