About this study

Official title: Comparative Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Emergency Department Nurse Preference Between 2 Methods of Visualization for Midline Catheter Insertion: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a continuous needle tracking system on the accuracy, speed, and quality of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheter insertion.

Read the detailed description

A pilot study using simulated tissue was conducted with 49 US-based emergency department nurses to compare insertion of a midline catheter using traditional ultrasound guidance versus an advanced needle-tracking technology along with traditional ultrasound guidance.

Being tested
Randomized Traditional, Cue(TM) Needle Tracking Technology
Keywords
Visualization, Needle Guidance, Midline Catheter, Emergency Department Nurse

What participants receive

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

  • Randomized TraditionalDevice

    Also called Randomized Traditional Ultrasound method

    Traditional ultrasound guidance was utilized to insert Midlines on simulated veins blocks not live patients

  • Cue(TM) Needle Tracking TechnologyDevice

    Cue(TM) Needle Tracking Technology with real time needle tip tracking is used to assist ultrasound guided midline insertions on simulated veins blocks not live patients

What is being measured

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

  1. Insertion Success

    Number of attempts required to properly place a needle tip in the simulated vessel

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Insertion Time

    Time required to successfully insert a needle tip into a simulated vessel

    Measured: 1 hour

  3. Backwalling Events

    Events where the needle fully transects the simulated blood vessel during the inserting of the needle tip into a simulated vessel

    Measured: 1 hour

  4. Needle redirects

    Lateral movement and deflection of the needle tip during insertion into a simulated vessel

    Measured: 1 hour

  5. Accuracy of Needle Placement

    Accuracy of needle placement as indicated by the lateral distance from a target

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Self-reported subjective measurements

    Post-study questions were used to assess confidence during insertion with Cue needle tracking system (likert), confidence when insertion with traditional ultrasound techniques (likert), preference between the cue needle tracking system and the standard of care

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Catheter Related Complication, run by Becton, Dickinson and Company at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 23 Mar 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 United States. 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?

Insertion Success (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Mar 2021.
