Effect of the Bevel Direction of Puncture Needle on Success Rate and Complications During Central Venous Catheterization

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Central Venous Catheterization
• Interventions: Device: bevel direction during central venous catheterization

• Registration Number: NCT01003366
• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Brief Summary

To test the hypothesis that approaching the internal jugular vein with the needle bevel down would produce less injury to the vessel wall compared to the bevel up approach during central venous catheterization.
