Verification of the Correct Insertion of a Central Venous Catheter
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators propose a prospective diagnostic validity study in which the correct location of the central venous catheter will be verified by ultrasound and then verified by radiography in the same patient, without modifying the usual clinical practice criteria.

---|---|
Active Comparator: CVC location with Rx After placement of the CVC we will perform the X-ray and subsequent verification of the correct location. Simultaneously, a stopwatch will be started to calculate the time interval until the interpretation of the X-ray by the anesthesiologist. |
Device: Insertion of central venous catheter
Central venous catheter verified by ultrasound and then verified by radiography.
|
Active Comparator: CVC location with echocardiography Cardiac ultrasound will be performed to visualize the correct position of the CVC tip, and the time until the interpretation of the ultrasound results will also be monitored. |
Device: Insertion of central venous catheter
Central venous catheter verified by ultrasound and then verified by radiography.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To determine the incidence of malposition of central venous catheter [Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Incidence of malposition measured by echocardiography and chest radiography in confirming the correct positioning of the tip of the supradiaphragmatic central venous catheter. Moreover, this check can be performed in a shorter time interval.
Eligibility Criteria

-
Patients who agree to participate in the study
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patients with devices that may interfere with the ultrasound images.
-
Patients with poor ultrasound window
-
Patients with superior vena cava syndrome
