What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approachProcedure or surgery
The physician will use an ultrasound machine to perform an ultrasound-guided internal jugular venous cannulation: the needle and the vein will be visualized in real time in the ultrasound image to make the cannulation process easier and safer.
In each one of three study arms, however, the ultrasound approach will be different depending on the axis on wich the vein is visualized (longitudinal, transversal or oblique) and the way the needle enters the ultrasound plane (in-plane or out of plane).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Long axis, in-plane needle | Experimental | Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach
Long axis, in-plane needle:
Jugular vein is ultrasonographically visualized in a longitudinal fashion (long axis) and the needle is inserted in the same ultrasound plane, aligned with the longitudinal axis of the transducer. Receives: Procedure: Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach |
| Short axis, out-of-plane needle | Experimental | Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach
Short axis, out-of-plane needle:
Jugular vein is ultrasonographically visualized in a transverse fashion (short axis) and the needle is inserted perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the transducer (out-of-plane). Receives: Procedure: Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach |
| Oblique axis, in-plane needle | Experimental | Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach
Oblique axis, in-plane needle:
Jugular vein is ultrasonographically visualized in an oblique axis (intermediate view between long and short axis) and the needle is inserted in the same ultrasound plane, aligned with the longitudinal axis of the transducer. Receives: Procedure: Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cannulation Success
Cannulation will be considered as "successful" once a flexible guidewire has been inserted into the internal jugular vein during the first 180 seconds from the moment the Seldinger needle pierces the skin. If time spent until guidewire insertion is more than 180 seconds, or if guidewire cannot be inserted into the internal jugular vein chosen, cannulation will be considered "unsuccessful". This outcome measure will be registered at the end of the cannulation process.
Measured: At the end of the cannulation process (180 seconds, maximum)
Secondary outcomes (5)
Number of Cannulation Attempts
Number of cannulation attempts that have taken place before cannulation success. Any withdrawal of the needle followed by an advance will be considered a separated cannulation attempt.This outcome measure will be registered at the end of the cannulation process.
Measured: At the end of the cannulation process (180 seconds, maximum)
First Attempt Cannulation
Any cannulation that has been accomplished with a single cannulation attempt will be considered a "first attempt cannulation". This outcome measure will be registered at the end of the cannulation process.
Measured: At the end of the cannulation process (180 seconds, maximum)
Cannulation Time
Time elapsed (seconds) from the moment the Seldinger needle pierces the skin to the moment the guidewire is inserted inside the vein. This outcome measure will be registered at the end of the cannulation process.
Measured: At the end of the cannulation process (180 seconds, maximum)
Mechanical Complications
The incidence of the following mechanical complications will be registered: number of patients with accidental arterial puncture, number of patients with puncture site bleeding, number of patients with puncture site haematoma, number of patients with pneumothorax, number of patients catheter tip misplacement. This outcome measure will be registered at the end of the cannulation process, and once a control chest x-Ray has been performed.
Measured: At the end of the cannulation process (180 seconds, maximum)
Infectious Complications
The incidence of bacterial catheter colonization and catheter-related blood stream infection will be registered once the central venous catheter has been withdrawn. Patients will be followed for the duration of central venous access, an expected average of 8 weeks. The number of patients with bacterial colonization and catheter-related blood stream infection will be registered.
Measured: Once the central venous catheter is withdrawn (2 months)

Primary outcome
Cannulation Success
Time frame: At the end of the cannulation process (180 seconds, maximum)
Cannulation will be considered as "successful" once a flexible guidewire has been inserted into the internal jugular vein during the first 180 seconds from the moment the Seldinger needle pierces the skin. If time spent until guidewire insertion is more than 180 seconds, or if guidewire cannot be inserted into the internal jugular vein chosen, cannulation will be considered "unsuccessful". This outcome measure will be registered at the end of the cannulation process.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Ultrasound-guided Internal jugular venous approach in people with Ultrasound-guided Internal Jugular Cannulation and Central Venous Access Complications, run by Mikel Batllori at 1 site in Spain.
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 3 inclusion and 10 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 1 Aug 2016. 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 Spain. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Jun 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Cannulation Success (time frame: At the end of the cannulation process (180 seconds, maximum)). 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 NCT01966354, which also lists 14 linked publications.
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 1 Aug 2016.
