Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial compares two methods for inserting a central line into the internal jugular vein: using ultrasound guidance versus the traditional landmark technique. The study measures how many needle adjustments are needed, first-attempt success, and total time to access the vein. Results may help determine which approach is more efficient and less risky for patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ultrasound guidance
What this could lead to
If ultrasound proves better, it could become the standard method for this common procedure, reducing complications and improving patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with a moderate number of participants, so results may not apply everywhere. The landmark technique is already widely used and effective in experienced hands.
