NCT ID NCT06637319
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 50 healthy adults to find out where major blood vessels lie in the neck, specifically in the area where doctors might need to make an emergency cut to help someone breathe. Using ultrasound, researchers measured how often these vessels appear and how deep they are. The goal is to help doctors avoid accidentally cutting a blood vessel during this rare but life-saving procedure.
