About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Oblique-axis and Long-axis Approaches for Axillary Vein Catheterization Under Ultrasound Guidance in Cardiac Surgery Patients Susceptible to Bleeding: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Ultrasound-guided axillary vein catheterization can be performed via the oblique-axis and long-axis approaches of the axillary vein. The aim of our study is to compare the first puncture success rate and safety between the two approaches of ultrasound-guided axillary vein catheterization in cardiac surgical patients with high bleeding risk

Read the detailed description

For patients after cardiac surgery, antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants are usually used for preventing thrombosis. Use of those drugs is associated with increased risk of bleeding. Any invasive procedures may put those patients at additional risk of bleeding. Ultrasound (US) has become widely accepted to guide safe and accurate central venous catheterization. Ultrasound-guided axillary vein catheterization can be performed via the oblique-axis and long-axis approaches of the axillary vein. The aim of our study is to compare the first puncture success rate and safety between the two approaches of ultrasound-guided axillary vein catheterization in cardiac surgical patients with high bleeding risk

What participants receive

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

  • Oblique-axis approach groupProcedure or surgery

    The first two attempts via the oblique-axis approach will be performed . If the first two attempts failed, the subsequent attempts of venipuncture were performed using the long-axis approach.

  • Long-axis approach groupProcedure or surgery

    The first two attempts via the long-axis approach will be performed . If the first two attempts failed, the subsequent attempts of venipuncture were performed using the oblique-axis approach.

What is being measured

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

  1. First puncture success rate

    Central venous catheter established upon first punction attempt

    Measured: approximately 3-5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. approach success rate

    the number of successful cannulation within the first two attempts

    Measured: within 1 hours

  2. strategy success rate

    defined as the number of successful cannulation in targeted axillary vein within four attempts (the first two attempts using the randomized approach, third and fourth attempts using the non-randomized approach)

    Measured: within 1 hours

  3. the number of attempts

    the number of attempts until successful cannulation

    Measured: within 1 hours

  4. access time

    defined as the time between penetration of skin and aspiration of venous blood into the syringe

    Measured: within 1 hours

  5. time to successful cannulation

    the time from skin puncture until completion of cannula insertion

    Measured: within 1 hours

  6. Complications rate

    Complications included arterial puncture, pneumothorax, haemothorax, nerve injuries, hematoma, catheter misplacement

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oblique-axis approach group and Long-axis approach group in people with Central Venous Catheterization, run by Guowei Tu 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 2 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 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 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guo-wei Tu, MD (+86-021-64041990, tu.guowei@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

First puncture success rate (time frame: approximately 3-5 minutes). 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 20 Jul 2021.
