Both male and female patients, who are over 18 years of age, in need of a central venous catheter, who have received information on the study and have given the consent for this study.

What does the study involve?
In-patients and out-patients who are referred to the department for gastrointestinal cancer treatment in Sahlgrenska University Hospital (Sweden).

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no known risks. The treatment with these catheters is well documented and well known.

Scientific titleRandomised clinical trial on venous access comparing central venous catheter and peripher inserted central venous catheter
Study acronymCVC, PICC
Study objectivesPICC line use is more safe, with less side-effects and adverse events and perhaps also less expensive and easier to use both for patients and medical personal.
Ethics approval(s)Board of Ethics in Goteborg, 2011-09-11, ref: Dnr 492-11
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedUpper GI disease
InterventionPatients are enrolled as indoor and outdoor patients and randomised in a way approved before and after patients consent. The specific catheter is inserted by either a specialised nurse or doctor.
