Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
CVC location with echocardiography	Insertion of central venous catheter	Cardiac ultrasound will be performed to visualize the correct position of the CVC tip, and the time until the interpretation of the ultrasound results will also be monitored.
CVC location with Rx	Insertion of central venous catheter	After placement of the CVC we will perform the X-ray and subsequent verification of the correct location. Simultaneously, a stopwatch will be started to calculate the time interval until the interpretation of the X-ray by the anesthesiologist.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To determine the incidence of malposition of central venous catheter	Through study completion, an average of 1 year	Incidence of malposition measured by echocardiography and chest radiography in confirming the correct positioning of the tip of the supradiaphragmatic central venous catheter. Moreover, this check can be performed in a shorter time interval.
