Trial summary

Comparison of two techniques of central venous cannulation of subclavian vein using ultrasound was performed. ultrasound guided central venous cannulation is the standard practice today but its use in subclavian vein is technically challenging and not much literature is available.

About this study

Comparison of two techniques of central venous cannulation of subclavian vein using ultrasound was performed. ultrasound guided central venous cannulation is the standard practice today but its use in subclavian vein is technically challenging and not much literature is available. In this study 96 Patients were randomized into one of the groups and compared for various outcomes. The primary outcome studied was the time taken for procedure. Secondary objectives included comparison of total access time using both the techniques,comparison of first attempt success rate, comparison of the quality of needle visualization and the comparison of immediate (mechanical) and delayed complication rates.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ultrasound guided central venous cannulationProcedure or surgery

    ultrasound is a medical device which is frequently used for safe venous punctures as you can visualise the structures.so, device ''ultrasound'' will be used for intervention ''central line insertion'' in subclavian vein. ultrasound guided cannulation of the subclavian vein was done by supraclavicular or infraclavicular approach after randomization into either of the two groups.In the supraclavicular approach the puncture site is above the clavicle while in the infraclavicular group the puncture site is below the clavicle. Central venous cannulation is done after identifying the vein on ultrasound and using standard seldinger technique with full asepsis.

What is being measured

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

  1. puncture time of subclavian vein using ultrasound-guided supraclavicular or infraclavicular approach infraclavicular approaches in adults

    will be measured in seconds

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. total time taken for cannulation of veins using both the techniques.

    measured in seconds

    Measured: 1 year

  2. first attempt success rate

    number of attempts taken will be measured

    Measured: 1 year

  3. quality of needle visualisation

    subjective visualisation of the needle on ultrasound will be noted as good or poor

    Measured: 1 year

  4. immediate and delayed complications with the two approaches

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ultrasound guided central venous cannulation in people with Compare Central Line Insertion of Subclavian Vein With Two Different Approaches Using Ultrasound, run by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh.

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 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 10 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

puncture time of subclavian vein using ultrasound-guided supraclavicular or infraclavicular approach infraclavicular approaches in adults (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Oct 2016.
