Trial summary

Patients were randomly divided into two groups: ultrasound-guided (US-guided) out-of-plane internal jugular vein (OOP-IJV) and in-plane supraclavicular subclavian vein (IP-SSV) catheterization. For OOP-IJV cannulation, the transducer was placed to identify IJV in short-axis view. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Ultrasound-guided Out-of-plane Internal Jugular Vein and In-plane Supraclavicular Subclavian Vein Catheterization in Intensive Care Unit Patients-a Randomized Trial

Patients were randomly divided into two groups: ultrasound-guided (US-guided) out-of-plane internal jugular vein (OOP-IJV) and in-plane supraclavicular subclavian vein (IP-SSV) catheterization.

For OOP-IJV cannulation, the transducer was placed to identify IJV in short-axis view. The needle was introduced at an angle of 60° to the skin surface, and advanced under real-time US guidance until visualizing the tip of the needle inside the vein.

For IP-SSV cannulation, a short-axis view of the IJV was obtained first. The probe was slid caudally following the IJV until getting the best long-axis view of the SCV. Using an in-plane approach, the needle was inserted at the base of the transducer at a 30° angle and advanced under the long axis under real-time US guidance targeting the SCV.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomly divided into two groups: ultrasound-guided (US-guided) out-of-plane internal jugular vein (OOP-IJV) and in-plane supraclavicular subclavian vein (IP-SSV) catheterization.

For OOP-IJV cannulation, the transducer was placed on transverse position over the patient's neck at the level of the cricoid cartilage to identify IJV and carotid artery (CA) in short-axis view. The vein was then centered on the screen. The skin puncture was made in the center of the US image using a needle attached to a syringe. The needle was introduced at an angle of 60° to the skin surface, perpendicular to the transducer, and advanced under real-time US guidance toward the IJV until visualizing the tip of the needle inside the vein.

For IP-SSV cannulation, a short-axis view of the IJV was obtained first. The probe was slid caudally following the IJV until the junction of the subclavian vein (SCV) and IJV was reached in the supraclavicular fossa. The probe was then turned slightly and tilted anteriorly to get the best long-axis view of the SCV and the brachiocephalic vein (BCV).

Using an in-plane approach, the needle attached to a syringe was inserted at the base of the transducer at a 30° angle and advanced strictly under the long axis of the US probe from lateral to medial. The needle point was then guided under real-time US guidance targeting the SCV.

In both groups, catheterization was done through Seldinger technique.

What is being measured

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

  1. The overall access time

    Time from the ultrasound scanning to the ultrasound confirmation of the correct position of the guidewire into vein.

    Measured: During the venous cannulation procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The guidewire time

    Time from the first skin puncture to the ultrasound confirmation of the correct placement of the guidewire into the vein.

    Measured: During the venous cannulation procedure

  2. The venous access time

    The time between the first skin puncture and free aspiration of venous blood in the syringe

    Measured: During the venous cannulation procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Catetherization approach in people with Central Venous Catheter, run by University Tunis El Manar at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 4 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 17 Dec 2019. 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 Tunisia. 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?

The overall access time (time frame: During the venous cannulation procedure). 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 NCT03879954, 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 17 Dec 2019.
