Summary

Background: Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is a very common procedure in the intensive care setting. A recent international guidelines advocated the use of ultrasound for routine internal jugular CVC insertion. The needle navigation technology is a new innovation, also known as guided positioning system (GPS) which allows clinician to visualize the needle position and trajectory in real time as it approaches the target. We hypothesised that the use of GPS would increase success rate and decrease performance time in vascular access procedures.

Objectives: To compare the success, efficacy and safety of the procedure using the ultrasound guidance (UG) with conventional versus GPS method.

Methods: This was a prospective randomized controlled study in a single centre - intensive care unit. 100 patients were randomized into two groups (50 each each). Subjects would receive CVC insertion via internal jugular vein using ultrasound guidance out of plane approach by conventional versus GPS method. Outcomes measured were the procedure efficacy, safety, level of operators' experience and their satisfaction.
