Summary

Central venous lines insertion are common procedures these days. CVL placed under USG guidance have high success rates and low complications even in developing country settings. However, the investigators still have to rely on chest x-ray (CXR) to confirm the correct placement of central venous lines as a gold standard method. This might be time consuming and may cause delay in initiation of treatment. In some cases, as in operating room, the treatment is started even before confirmation by CXR. Ultrasound has ability to localize the tip of the catheter at the superior venacava- right atrium junction using agitated saline and the appearance of contrast within 2 seconds in right atrium. However, this technique is rarely used. The investigators, therefore, designed the trial to study whether confirmation of tip of CVL by ultrasound is non-inferior to the CXR confirmation.

Conditions

  • Central Venous Catheterization
  • Exposure to X-Rays

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Agitated Saline Method

All patients in the study who have undergone a central venous line placement will undergo a confirmation of the accurate or inaccurate placement of central venous lines using agitated saline under ultrasound vision.

PROCEDURE

chest x-ray

All patients in the study who have undergone a central venous line placement will undergo a confirmation of the accurate or inaccurate placement of central venous lines using chest x-ray obtained in supine position as an active comparator
