Summary

This study tested a new needle-steering device to help doctors insert central lines (large IVs) into a major vein below the collarbone. In a mannequin simulation, the device helped doctors succeed on the first try more often, with fewer needle sticks and less time. The next step is to test it in real ICU patients.
