Simple lift could make emergency vein access easier
NCT ID NCT06916741
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether placing a small lift under the lower back (sacral lift) during an ultrasound can make the femoral vein bigger and easier to see in emergency department patients. Researchers will compare vein size and how much it overlaps with the artery, with and without the lift, in two leg positions. The goal is to find a simple way to improve success when doctors need to insert a line into the femoral vein.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sacral lift
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple technique to make femoral vein cannulation easier and safer in emergency settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It only measures vein size, not actual cannulation success or complications.
