Ultrasound showdown: which vein route wins for catheter placement?
NCT ID NCT01543360
First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested two methods for inserting a central venous catheter (a large IV in the chest) using continuous ultrasound guidance: one through the subclavian vein and one through the axillary vein. 132 adults who needed a central line took part. The goal was to see which technique succeeded within the first two puncture attempts. Results help doctors choose the best approach for safer, faster catheter placement.
