NCT02602665

Brief Summary

This is a single center, randomized, controlled trial in which tunneled central line catheters will be placed in two distinct, select positions. The catheter tip position will then be followed up prospectively after placement to determine whether there is any malpositioning of the tip and if one placement is better than the other.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Malposition

    The primary outcome measure of this study is to determine whether the position of the tip during central line placement plays a role in malposition during further evaluation of these patients. This will be determined with chest X-ray done at or within 90 days after line insertion. All non-ultrasound guided lines and those placed by cut down procedure will be tallied in a prospective manner to calculate the number of lines placed without radiological guidance. Number of attempts required to place the line (number of times the needle is removed exterior to the skin, i.e. number of skin punctures.)

    90 days

Study Arms (2)

Shallow catheter tip placement

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized to shallow tip placement will have the tip of the catheter placed approximately one vertebral body above to even with the carina.

Procedure: Shallow catheter tip placement

Deep catheter tip placement

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized to deep tip placement will have the tip of the catheter placed 1.5 to 2.5 vertebral bodies below the carina.

Procedure: Deep catheter tip placement

Interventions
