Central Line Study
A Randomized Study Comparing Two Techniques for Central Venous Catheter Insertion
Montefiore Medical Center
160 participants
Nov 16, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Two different techniques for placing a central venous catheter will be compared. The studyu team hypothesizes that clinicians randomized to the peripheral catheter technique will have higher first attempt success rates, fewer procedural complications, and a shorter mean time to procedure completion than physicians assigned to wire through hollow bore needle.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- Adult patients in the emergency department who require ultrasound guided central line placement are eligible for participation and will be referred for participation in the study by the clinical team.
Exclusion Criteria5
- Inherited, acquired, or medication related coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia (platelets \< 100,000). Patients will not be excluded for use of aspirin or other anti-platelet medication.
- Previous central venous access at the same anatomical site.
- Any indwelling catheter or wire that could potentially interfere with central line placement
- Anterior border of the target vein deeper than 3.5cm
- Or for any clinical feature that would interfere with obtaining informed consent including dementia, delirium, or encephalopathy, as determined by the clinical attending physician.
