About this trial

Most recent guidelines suggest central venous access must be performed with real-time ultrasound guidance, and the most recommended site for cannulation is internal jugular vein (IJV); however, it is recognized that evidence for other sites is, at present, limited. Besides, guidelines does not account for patients with small vein cross-sectional area and/or respirophasic collapse, which can make the procedure more difficult or even impossible. The investigators aim to compare three different insertion sites for central venous access, with real-time ultrasound guidance

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients who need central venous catheterization, and have respirophasic variation in cross-sectional area of jugular veins

Disqualifiers

Less than 18 years-old

Patients with previous failed attempts with non-ultrasound guided technique

Non-resolved pneumothorax/hemothorax at enrollment

Refusal to sign informed consent

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Internal jugular vein catheterization

    Procedure/Surgery

    Catheterization of internal jugular vein with real-time (in-plane) method, with neutral neck position. Standard aseptic technique.

  • Subclavian vein catheterization

    Procedure/Surgery

    Catheterization of subclavian/axillary vein with infra-clavicular approach with real-time (in-plane) method, without shoulder retraction. Standard aseptic technique.

  • Innominate vein catheterization

    Procedure/Surgery

    Catheterization of innominate vein with supra-clavicular approach with real-time (in-plane) method, with neutral shoulder position and no shoulder retraction. Standard aseptic technique.
