About this study

To assess and improve the safety and success rate of vascular puncture and catheterization using ultrasound-guided methods.

Read the detailed description

Investigators hypothesized that (1) various ultrasound-guided methods had different performances of vascular puncture and catheterization, (2) certain risk factors influenced safety and success rate of vascular puncture and catheterization (3) implementation of protocols could improve the performances of ultrasound-guided vascular puncture and catheterization.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful rate without extra vascular damage

    Percentages of successful catheterization without vascular damage of posterior wall.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Successful rate at first attempt.

    Percentage of successful catheterization at first attempt without needle withdraw.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

  2. Time duration of catheterization.

    From beginning of needle puncture to finishing or failing catheterization.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

  3. Relative factors of successful catheterization without posterior wall damage.

    Relationship between independent variables (gender, age, BMI, BP, depth and so on) and successful catheterization without posterior wall damage.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

  4. The effect of depth to the successful catheterization without posterior wall puncture.

    The relationships between different depth of vascular anterior wall and successful catheterization without posterior wall puncture.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dynamic and Regular-triangle in people with Vascular Access Complication and Ultrasound Therapy; Complications, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 18 Sep 2020. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Successful rate without extra vascular damage (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.). 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 NCT03656978, which also lists 10 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 18 Sep 2020.
