100 participants in 2 patient groups

CVC location with Rx

Active Comparator group

Description:

After placement of the CVC we will perform the X-ray and subsequent verification of the correct location. Simultaneously, a stopwatch will be started to calculate the time interval until the interpretation of the X-ray by the anesthesiologist.

Treatment:

Device: Insertion of central venous catheter

CVC location with echocardiography

Active Comparator group

Description:

Cardiac ultrasound will be performed to visualize the correct position of the CVC tip, and the time until the interpretation of the ultrasound results will also be monitored.

Treatment:

Device: Insertion of central venous catheter
