Ultrasound-Guided catheter placement studied in obese ICU patients
NCT ID NCT01154465
First seen Jun 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if using ultrasound to guide the placement of central venous catheters (large IVs) in obese intensive care unit patients would lead to fewer complications like infections or blood clots. The researchers planned to compare ultrasound guidance with the usual method of placing the catheter based on body landmarks. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
