Summary

Randomized controlled intervention study comparing echogenic needles with non echogenic needles for ultrasound guided venous access in the subclavian vein.

Detailed description

Patients undergoing certain surgical procedures and patients in intensive care unit require a central venous catheter (CVC) for infusion of medicaments and for monitoring. Central venous access (CVA) can be performed both with a blind technique or an ultrasound guided technique. A common place for CVA is the subclavian vein. While many guidelines recommend the use of ultrasound for jugular access, there are no explicit recommendations for subclavian CVA For ultrasound guided CVA procedures good needle visualization is important to successfully place the needle and catheter in the correct position. Echogenic needles can give better needle visualization when performing ultrasound guided CVA procedures. Theoretically, the use of echogenic needles should improve performance time and success rates, and reduce complication rates due to a better needling control. The investigators will investigate the use of echogenic needles for vascular access. A prospective randomized controlled trial design will be used. Echogenic needles will be compared with non-echogenic (standard) needles. The main null hypothesis states that there is no difference in access time between the needles.
