Compass Device Trial

Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a single-arm observational trial of a device (Compass Vascular Access, Centurion Medical Products, Williamston MI). The device is a compact, sterile, single-use extravascular blood pressure transducer. This pressure measurement aids in confirmation of appropriate venous access. The investigators plan to enroll 40 consenting patients with BMI ≥35 who require central venous catheterization for clinical reasons independent of the existence of this study. The primary outcome is operator satisfaction.

Full description

Forty (40) consenting patients meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria for this single-arm observational trial will be prepared as usual for central venous catheter (CVC) placement. The Compass pressure measurement device will be included in the CVC placement apparatus as per the manufacturer's directions. Data will be recorded on the placement procedure, operator satisfaction, routine patient demographics, and incidence of inadvertent arterial puncture.
