Filter by:EpiFaith CV provides automatic aspiration and detection of arterial pressure as an alternative to manometry in central venous catheterization. The aim of the study is to evaluate if it may reduce operation time compared with conventional syringe.
OBJECTIVES The primary objective is to compare if the addition of a needle guide can reduce the number of central venous catheter (CVC) insertions with >1 skin puncture in ultrasound-guided catheterization of the subclavian vein using the long-axis approach with an in-plane needling technique. Secondary objectives include if this addition 1) decreases the frequency of mechanical complications (defined as bleeding, arterial puncture, arterial catheterization, nerve injury, pneumothorax), 2) increases the time when the needle is visible, 3) decreases the time until successful vessel punction, 4) decreases the number of needle redirections during the insertion, and 5) a comparison between the two groups regarding number of failed catheterizations. DESIGN This is a prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel intervention study. Patients will be enrolled at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden. The trial is investigator-initiated and non-commercial. POPULATION AND INTERVENTION Adults (18 years of age or older) in need of a subclavian CVC for any reason and able to give written informed consent will be included in the study provided no exclusion criteria is fulfilled. OUTCOMES Primary outcome will be number of CVC insertions with >1 skin puncture. Secondary outcomes include comparison between the two groups regarding 1) the frequency of mechanical complications, 2) proportion of the insertion-time when the needle is visible on the ultrasound (US) screen, 3) time to successful vessel punction, 4) the number of needle redirections during the insertion, 5) number of failed catheterisations, 6) Feasibility of the needle guide evaluated with a questionair to the operators at the end of the study.
Investigator compared three techniques of Central venous cannulation (CVC) insertion, Anatomical Landmark, Pre-location Ultrasound and the Real Ultrasound techniques, in cardiac surgical patients.
The insertion of central venous catheters (CVCs) has become an integral part of management of a critically ill patient. Access to the central vein may be required for the administration of hyper osmotic or vasoactive compounds, parenteral nutrition, and rapid infusion of large volumes of fluid or for the continuous or intermittent monitoring of biochemical or physiological parameters. Central venous catheter insertion is also indicated when the insertion of a peripheral line is not possible. Traditionally, CVC insertions have been performed using the landmark technique. Considering the number of CVCs being inserted every day, this can amount to a large number of complications. Efforts to minimize and prevent the occurrence of complications should be a routine component of quality improvement programs. There is an increasing body of evidence supporting the use of ultrasound guidance for CVC placement. This makes the strong rationale to conduct this research thus the aim of this study is to evaluate the real benefits i.e outcome of Long versus Short Axis ultrasound guided approach for internal jugular vein cannulation in the patient for elective cardiac surgery as central venous cannulation (CVC).
The primary aim of the current study is to examine the accuracy of the C-distance or surface landmarks in determining the length of central venous catheter (CVC) that is required to place the catheter tip at the mid-superior vena cava (SCV) as confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A secondary aim is to derive an equation or formula to calculate the depth of the CVC that is required in order to have the catheter tip placed at the mid-SVC.
When the left internal jugular vein catheterization under short-axis ultrasound guided, an operator should be stand around the lying patient's head. The investigators are going to evaluate to effects of the operator's location.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of arm abduction and adduction on the intravascular electrocardiograph during PICC placement and to find out how arm position influences the catheter tip location by taking postprocedural chest X-ray radiographs.
The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in central venous catheter insertion time, success rate, and complication between the flexible tip straight guidewire and J-tip guidewire for ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization in small children.
The investigators intend to compare the Seldinger technique and modified Seldinger technique on success rate and complications during central venous catheterization by a prospective, randomized, controlled study. The investigators are planning to compare both techniques in both experienced (anesthesiologist board member) and non-experienced practitioners (first and second-grade resident).
Ultrasound (US)-guided central venous catheterization is now considered standard of care according to recent clinical evidence, at least considering jugular vein approach. Recent trials suggested that even US-guided subclavian approach could be more effective that landmark technique. However, studies comparing both sites employing US are still lacking. We, therefore, designed a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial to compare these sites, both using US guidance, according to immediate complications following central venous catheterization.
