Study information

Primary study design	Interventional
Study design	Prospective randomised controlled trial
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Scientific title	Internal jugular vein cannulation using ultrasound guidance: a prospective randomised controlled trial
Study objectives	Real time ultrasound guided cannulation of the internal jugular vein (IJV) is more efficient than catheterisation using ultrasound located landmarks.
Ethics approval(s)	Ethics approval received from "Attikon" Hospital Ethics Committee on the 23rd January 2004 (ref: AP. 420/CP "ATTIKON" Hospital).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Jugular vein cannulation
Intervention	Patients who need an internal jugular vein catheter are randomised, using sealed envelopes, in two groups: Group A (real time ultrasound [U/S]): IJV Cannulation using real time ultrasound Group B (U/S located landmarks): IJV cannulation using ultrasound located landmarks Patients with IJV thrombosis were excluded. The success rate of cannulation was measured (attempts less than or equal to three by the same operator), along with the duration of time until successful cannulation and complications.
Intervention type	Procedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure(s)	Success rate of cannulation, attempts less than or equal to three by the same operator.
Key secondary outcome measure(s)	1. Number of tries 2. Time to complete cannulation 3. Immediate complications (assessed by the operator and his assistance) 4. Place of the catheter using x-ray just after cannulation (assessed by a radiologist) 5. Early complications, measured at days 1, 2 and 5 post cannulation (assesed by a senior surgeon) 6. Later complications (late infections and obstruction of catheters "life" up to six months, assesed by a physician and/or a senior nurse)
Completion date	30/05/2008
