Ultrasound vs Landmark for Neck Central Line
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old.
- You are having a planned surgery in a main operating room.
- You need a central line (a special IV in a large vein near your neck).
- You do not have a bleeding problem or clotting disorder.
- You have not had an infection, surgery, or previous catheter in that area.

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 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 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.
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.
