A Randomized Parallel Study for Simulated Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation Using Simple Needle Guide Device

A Randomized Parallel Study for Simulated Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation Using Simple Needle Guide Device

Two-dimensional ultrasound guided approach does not guarantee first attempt success on internal jugular vein cannulation. New attachable device recently was developed for accurate needle insertion when ultrasound is used. Our randomized parallel simulation study will examine whether this device will improve the first attempt success rate when ultrasound guided internal jugular vein catheterization of simulated internal jugular vein.

This was a prospective, randomized, parallel trial using phantom simulating internal jugular vein.

After informed consent all subjects will be randomized to insert needle for internal jugular vein cannulation of phantom using ultrasound approach with or without this device. Video camera will record all procedure process and ultrasound image in real time. Researchers blinded to the study aim measured outcome variables based on recorded images.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adults over 20
2. Resident in clinical hospital
3. Ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein insertion without supervisor experience less than 10

Exclusion Criteria:

1. If they have physical problem that is difficult to perform
2. If they do not want to participate in this study
3. If they can not understand the contents reading the informed consent
4. If they have more than 10 ultrasound guided internal jugular vein insertion without supervisor
