About this study

Catheterization was performed using ultrasound with an "out-of-plane" approach by inserting the introducer needle (thin-wall needle technique) or Angiocath Plus™ catheter (catheter-over-the-needle technique) in 45 - 60° to the patient's skin while viewing the vein in a cross section.

Primary outcomes

  1. Guide-wire insertion time

    Time frame: interval between skin penetration and removal of the needle or catheter after guide wire insertion, an expected average of 80 seconds

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to first puncture of central vein

    Time frame: interval between skin penetration of the needle or catheter and flashback of blood, an expected average of 25 seconds

  2. Total time of central venous catheter insertion

    Time frame: interval between skin penetration of the needle or catheter and installation of the indwelling catheter, an expected average of 3 minutes

  3. Number of central vein puncture trial

    Time frame: up to 5 times, an expected average observation time of 25 seconds

  4. Number of guide-wire insertion trial

    Time frame: up to 5 times, an expected average observation time of 80 seconds
