Head-mounted Display for Central Venous Catheterization

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Central Venous Catheterization
Interventions
Device: conventional ultrasound
Device: Mixed reality and head-mounted display ultrasound
Registration Number
NCT06469034
Lead Sponsor
The Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University
Brief Summary

Head-mounted displays (HMD) in medical practice are current research topics. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if HMD would improve the safety and efficacy in ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does HMD reduce the procedure time and increase the catheterization success rate in ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization. Does HMD increase the satisfaction score of operators and patients. Researchers will compare HMD with the conventional ultrasound in central venous catheterization. Operators will receive either HMD or conventional ultrasound machine to guide internal jugular vein catheterization. The procedure time, puncture success rate, complication and satisfactory score will be recorded.

GroupInterventionDescription
Control groupconventional ultrasoundThe operators in the control group will perform the procedure by visualizing the conventional ultrasound images displayed directly on the ultrasound screen. Each operator will perform an internal jugular vein cannulation via the short-axis approach. To standardize the approach, the ultrasound machine will be placed just to the right of the patient and operators will be asked to stand at the head of the patient and perform the procedure on the patient's internal jugular vein. Each operator could determine the height of the surgical table, and the posture during the procedure that will be most familiar to him/her to increase the success rate. Every procedure will be recorded by focusing on the participant's hands and faces.
MR+HMD groupMixed reality and head-mounted display ultrasoundIn the MR + HMD group, the ultrasound machine will be located behind the operator to remove the distraction, and the operator will not be allowed to see the ultrasound screen during the procedure. The operators randomized into the MR+HMD group will use a MR ultrasound machine. Images from the MR ultrasound machine will be transmitted to HMD via a novel connection developed specifically for this purpose. The operator will wear a pair of HMD and perform the procedure by visualizing the ultrasound images displayed on their HMD screen instead of the ultrasound screen. Each operator will perform an internal jugular vein cannulation via the short-axis approach. Every procedure will be recorded by focusing on the participant's hands and faces.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total catheterization timeFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The total catheterization time is defined as the period between the probe positioning on the patient's skin and insertion of the catheter, irrespective of the attempt number of the venous catheterization.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The incidence and severity of complicationsFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the catheter removal

The incidence and severity of complications, such as bleeding, hematoma, arrhythmia, nerve injury, arterial puncture, arterial catheterization, failed catheterization, catheter tip malposition, pneumothorax.

pain score of procedureFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

Patient's pain scale score during the internal jugular vein catheterization

Failure rate of catheterization.From application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

Inability to cannulate the vein in three attempts will be recorded as a failure.

Satisfaction score of patientsFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

Satisfaction score of patients after receiving the total procedure.

Satisfaction score of operatorsFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The operators' satisfaction will be recorded on a 5-point scale, where 1 = worst; 2 = poor; 3 = acceptable; 4 = good; and 5 = best. The questionnaire includes: degree of physical fatigue; degree of visual fatigue; motion sickness or dizziness; willingness to use the device again and to recommend it to colleagues; the contribution to patient management; how easily information was able to be read.

The diameter and depth of the internal jugular veinFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the beginning of puncture

The diameter and depth of the internal jugular vein in the image

Number of attempts of guidewire insertionFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

number of attempts until successful guidewire insertion

Number of probe repositioningFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

Number of ultrasound probe repositioning

The distance of tip of the needle from central line of vesselFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The distance of tip of the needle from central line of vessel

Number of attempts of needle punctureFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

number of attempts until successful needle puncture

First-attempt success rate of internal jugular vein cannulationFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The rate of first-attempt success of internal jugular vein cannulation. Successful internal jugular vein cannulation is confirmed by an flashback of venous blood from the catheter.

The second attempt success rateFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The rate of second-attempt success of internal jugular vein cannulation. Second-attempt of puncture is defined as the needle withdrawing to the skin and re-puncture.

Ultrasound scan timeFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

the time from application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the beginning of puncture

Venous access timeFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

period between skin penetration by the needle and the first flashback of venous blood

Number of needle redirectionsFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

the number of times the participant withdraws the needle and re-directs it or advances it at a different angle.

Number of looks at the monitorFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The number of times the participant looks at the monitor (ultrasound monitor or head-mounted display) during the procedure based on assessment of the subject's head and eye position noted on video.

Time spent looking at the patientFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The total amount of time the patient is the main focal point of the participant's view based on assessment of the subject's head and eye position noted on video.

Time spent looking at the monitorFrom application of the ultrasound probe to skin to the end of catheterization

The total amount of time the participant spends looking at the ultrasound monitor or the head-mounted display based on assessment of the subject's head and eye position noted on video.
