NCT01877031 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 192

Last updated 2018-11-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We aim to compare the use of ultrasound guidance alone versus a magnetically tracked needle to look at the time taken to place a central line, or specifically the time taken to place a needle in the internal jugular vein prior to utilizing the Seldinger technique to insert a central line.

Conditions

  • Central Line Complication

Interventions

DEVICE

Virtual Reality

A magnetically tracked needle with an associated virtual image will be superimposed on the ultrasound image to give the user a better idea of the position of the needle.

DEVICE

Ultrasound

Standard of Care - Ultrasound guided intervention
