Ultrasound for Guidewire Detection

Completed

• Conditions: Kidney Failure, Chronic; Kidney Failure, Acute

• Registration Number: NCT03727581
• Lead Sponsor: Wroclaw Medical University

Brief Summary

The aim of the project is to check if there is a possibility for a nephrologist to visualise the guidewire by means of available ultrasound scanners. To evaluate that, the procedure of catheter insertion will be expanded by ultrasound examination of right atrium and inferior vena cava border using substernal view. Such imaging seems to ameliorate the safety of catheter implementation and could be a good alternative for fluoroscopy, eliminating its adverse effects.
