About this study

Official title: 3D Biplane vs Conventional 2D Ultrasound Guided Internal Jugular VEin caNnulation in CardiotHoracic surgerY Patients

Central venous catheterization through the jugular vein is a standard procedure for cardiothoracic surgical patients. Ultrasound (US) guidance is preferred and compared to traditional landmark approach decreases complications and increases success rate. Both long and short axis views are used for obtaining access, both with their own advantages and shortcomings. Complications have also not completely diminished with the use of US. The investigators propose a new technique using 3D biplanar imaging, combining advantages from both long and short axis views in one image, enabling more successful procedures and a lower complication rate

Read the detailed description

Central venous catheters (CVC) are frequently placed in patients who are scheduled for cardiothoracic surgery (ICU). Ultrasound (US) guidance has consistently shown to not only improve success rate of procedures, but also to decrease complications with most benefit for the jugular vein. However, serious adverse events still occur despite US guidance Conventional two dimensional ultrasound (2D US) guided access if performed in either the short axis or long axis view, with both approaches having their own limitations. Using short axis view, the operator is never certain of the position of the needle tip as the shaft of the needle is not distinguishable from the tip in this view. Structures not (yet) visible in the US screen can already be punctured, or a vessel can be entered at a different position than preferred. A possible mechanism through which carotid artery puncture can happen is the posterior wall puncture4.

For long axis view, with proper technique the needle is viewed entirely during the procedure. However, this requires extensive experience and the overview of surrounding structures is lost.Multiple attempts at improving US guided venous access have been tried, such as oblique visualization or alternating short and long axis views but those approaches still have their shortcomings.

Three dimensional ultrasound (3D US) has a theoretical advantage of increased anatomical awareness, but evidence of improvement in needle based procedures is scarce.

Recently, a new 3D US probe is introduced which can address the above mentioned limitations of 2D US for access procedures.

The investigators hypothesize that this superior three dimensional awareness can improve needle placement during central venous catheterization, increasing success rates and potentially decreasing complications.

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. imaging time

    time from placing USprobe until start needling (in seconds)

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  2. needling time

    time from puncturing skin until access in vein (in seconds)

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  3. number of skin punctures

    total skin breaks needed before successful entry in vein

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  4. number of needle withdrawals

    redirections of needle >5mm without needing new skin breaks

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  5. number of posterior wall punctures

    puncture of posterior wall of jugular vein

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  6. operator satisfaction

    satisfaction of operator with visual feedback from US, rated on Likert Scale 1-5 with 1 no satisfaction at all and 5 totally satisfied

    Measured: procedure/surgery

  7. needle visibility

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3DUS biplanar catheterization and 2D US catheterization in people with Catheter Related Complication and Ultrasound; Complications, run by Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 5 Oct 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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?

first pass success (time frame: during procedure/surgery). 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 NCT04683302, 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 5 Oct 2021.
