NCT ID NCT07691554
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ultrasound-guided approaches—short-axis (transverse view) and long-axis (longitudinal view)—for inserting a catheter into the internal jugular vein in the neck. The goal is to see which method achieves successful placement on the first try. Ten adults aged 25–70 who need this procedure will be enrolled.
