Ultrasound Guidance Versus Anatomical Landmarks for CVC Catheterisation:

University of Pisa

Status: Completed

Conditions: Success Rate for Subclavian or Femoral Vein Catetherisation

Treatments: Procedure: Central vein catheterisation

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03207932

UPisa - subclavian/femoral

Details and patient eligibility

About

anatomical landmarks on the body surface were used to insert central vein catheter. However, ultrasound technique is emerging as a new technique for vein catheterisation. For subclavian and femoral vein catheterisation, up to now, there is a lack of evidence of the superiority of one technique over the other.
