Central Line Study

Description

Two different techniques for placing a central venous catheter will be compared. The studyu team hypothesizes that clinicians randomized to the peripheral catheter technique will have higher first attempt success rates, fewer procedural complications, and a shorter mean time to procedure completion than physicians assigned to wire through hollow bore needle.
