Doctors test which neck vein is best for lifesaving catheters

NCT ID NCT03162757

Summary

This study compared two different spots in the neck and chest for placing a central venous catheter, a tube used to give medicine or fluids. Doctors used ultrasound to guide the tube into either the lower jugular vein or the subclavian vein in 210 adult patients. The goal was to see which method was more successful on the first try and had fewer complications, to help plan a larger future study.
