U.S., April 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07556770) titled 'Sonographic Safety Margins of Subclavian Vein: Effect of View and Arm Position' on April 22.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate and compare the anatomical safety margins of the subclavian vein using ultrasound. Medical professionals commonly use the subclavian vein to insert central venous catheters, but nearby vulnerable structures, such as the lung and artery, can be at risk during the procedure.
This study investigates two different ultrasound probe positions: supraclavicular (above the collarbone) and infraclavicular (below the collarbone). It also examines how changing the patient's arm posi...
