NCT ID NCT04194736
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study looked at how often blood clots form soon after placing a central venous catheter (a special IV line) in children in the pediatric intensive care unit. Researchers used ultrasound to scan for clots 1 to 13 days after placement. The goal was to better understand the timing and risk factors for these clots, which could help improve care for critically ill children.
