Patients at risk of significant intraoperative blood loss and/or potential hemodynamic instability often necessitate the placement of two or more central venous catheters, including large bore catheters. In tertiary hospitals, anesthesiologists frequently encounter patients undergoing major surgeries such as liver transplantation, lung transplantation, cardiac surgery, and vascular surgery, who require multiple central venous punctures as part of routine anesthetic management. However, most review and consensus articles do not directly address the utilization of multiple catheters in the same venous site, nor establish formal recommendations regarding this practice. The latest consensus on central venous access from the American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA), published in 2012, briefly touches upon some aspects related to this practice but does not outline any contraindications. Thus, the investigators have identified a gap in evidence and robust prospective studies addressing the use of more than one catheter in the same site for central venous access. This lacuna underscores the importance of conducting a controlled clinical study in our institutions to establish the efficacy and safety of this approach in the perioperative context. The present study aims to evaluate the incidence of mechanical complications (such as dysrhythmias, arterial puncture, hematoma, pneumothorax/hemothorax, insertion failure, or inadequate positioning) within the first 24 hours after double puncture of the internal jugular vein compared to puncture of two distinct central vessels, in patients undergoing multiple central venous accesses during major surgeries. This study will be designed as a prospective, randomized, non-inferiority, open, parallel clinical trial with two groups for patient allocation. Patients identified for multiple central venous accesses as part of preoperative anesthetic planning will be randomly allocated to either receive two central venous accesses in two separate sites (Group I or control group) or two concurrent central venous accesses in a single internal jugular vein (Group II or intervention group). Only adult patients classified as ASA I to IV (over 18 years old), scheduled for major surgery, will be eligible for inclusion.
NCT05109338
Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is a common surgical procedure performed in children for the delivery of nutritional support, medications, frequent blood draws or transfusions. Maintaining hygienic conditions is absolutely necessary in order to avoid contamination of the catheter and tubing to avoid bloodstream infections. Fractures in the tubing is a common complication that places children at increased risk for infections. In order to help keep the tubing stable to avoid fractures and dislodgements, a wearable device was created called Ben-Guard. This pilot study is being undertaken to determine if the Ben-Guard device will reduce the incidence and severity of adverse events in children requiring CVCs.
NCT05877794
The central venous catheter (CVC) has been used for the first time in clinical use in 1921 and has been used worldwide by 2023. Although there are differences between studies, it is reported that side effects occur in approximately 5-20% of patients undergoing CVC. Common side effects include hematoma, venous puncture, arterial puncture, and pneumothorax, and horner syndrome is also reported in 5% of cases. In particular, in the case of the internal jugular vein (IJV), the possibility of puncture of the internal carotid artery is higher than that of other sites, and the puncture level also varies depending on the depth of needle insertion, which in some cases can cause very serious side effects. The incidence rate of side effects depends on the method of inserting the CVC and the skill of the operator. Previous method approached the IJV using the anatomy ladmark with the blind Seldinger technique, recently, as the use of ultrasound has become more common. Ultra sound guided CVC insertion tecnique reduce the incidence of side effect. However, there are still major complications exist because less experiance operator inserts needle too deep without caution and only depends on the image of sonography. Currently, the length of the needle commonly used in the CVC catheter set is 7 cm. In general, the depth from the skin to the IJV is within 1.5cm on either the right or the left, and under the premise that the needle insertion angle is 45 degrees, the distance from the skin to the IJV is within 2cm. Based on this, in previous studies, it was announced that the length of the needle required for IJV access was less than 4 cm. The purpose of this study is to study the usefulness and safety of the method of sono-guided CVC catheter insertion by fixing the needle at a position 4 cm from the needle tip by placing the suture wing (18G, single catheter set).
NCT04503135
This study aims to describe the incidence of catheter-related and non-catheter-related thrombosis in a population of adults in ICU and to assess its correlation with alteration of coagulation parameters.
NCT05555160
This study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled study. The study aimed to exploring the influence of PICC intra catheter guide wire or PICC conductive tip as intra luminal electrode on the positioning accuracy of catheter tip and exploring the influence of PICC intra catheter guide wire or PICC conductive tip as intra luminal electrode on catheterization complications.
NCT03778437
Although ultrasound-guided catheterization of the subclavian vein is becoming standard procedure in anesthetic practice, failure to align the needle and the transducer still can lead to possibly complications. In this study, we proposed a new alignment method, namely Aiming Method. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the use of this aiming method improved resident volunteers' performance of ultrasound-guided SC insertion in real patients. Specifically, residents were asked to perform three different methods: landmark techniques, ultrasound-guided with aiming method and ultrasound-guided plus needle guide techniques.
