The INVADE Study: INnominate Vein Approach for Central Catheterization in Difficult to cannulatE Patients (NCT04265703)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Most recent guidelines suggest central venous access must be performed with real-time ultrasound guidance, and the most recommended site for cannulation is internal jugular vein (IJV); however, it is recognized that evidence for other sites is, at present, limited. Besides, guidelines does not account for patients with small vein cross-sectional area and/or respirophasic collapse, which can make the procedure more difficult or even impossible. The investigators aim to compare three different insertion sites for central venous access, with real-time ultrasound guidance
