Background and study aims
This study aims to compare two kinds of catheters (thin tubes inserted into the body for treatment or surgery): a central venous catheter (CVC) and peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) which is inserted in a vein in the arm instead of a vein in the neck or chest.

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.
Where is the study run from?
Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study takes place between January 2013 and December 2015.

Scientific title | Randomised clinical trial on venous access comparing central venous catheter and peripher inserted central venous catheter |
Study acronym | CVC, PICC |
Study objectives | PICC 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) studied | Upper GI disease |
Intervention | Patients 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. Arm 1: CVC treatment Arm 2: PICC line |

Primary outcome measure | Catheter treatment period: measured in 2014/15 approximately |
