What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. catheterization success rate

    Subclavian vein catheterization will be performed after the induction of anesthesia and before the start of surgery.

    Measured: immediately after catheterization (an expected average of 1 hour)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. location of catheter tip

    Postoperative chest X-ray will be taken to check for the location of catheter tip immediately after surgery.

    Measured: an expected average of one day after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing position of shoulder retraction and position of neutral shoulder in people with Subclavian Vein Catheterization, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

catheterization success rate (time frame: immediately after catheterization (an expected average of 1 hour)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01368692, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jan 2013.
