Ultrasound risk score for jugular vein catheter placement
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are admitted to the intensive care unit.
- You need a central venous catheter (a large IV line) placed in your neck.
- The procedure will be guided by ultrasound.
- You (or a legal representative) can provide written permission.

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 study tests a specific ultrasound-guided technique to place a central venous catheter (a medical access line) when jugular veins are difficult to access. It may help reduce failed attempts and improve safety in people who need this kind of line for medical care.
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 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 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.
This trial compares two ways to place a central line (a large IV) in the neck of patients on breathing machines in the ICU. It uses ultrasound to guide the needle, aiming to make the procedure safer and more successful.
