Can a simple ultrasound scan make emergency catheter placement safer for trauma victims?
NCT ID NCT02820909
Summary
This study aimed to find out if using an ultrasound machine to guide the placement of emergency catheters in the groin is safer than the standard method of using only touch and anatomical landmarks. It involved 136 severely injured adult patients in intensive care who needed these catheters. Researchers compared the rate of complications, like bleeding or clots, between the two methods to see if ultrasound guidance provided a benefit.
