Venous Site for Central Catheterization (3SITES)

August 22, 2016 updated by: University Hospital, Caen

Comparison of Subclavian, Femoral and Internal Jugular Venous Catheterization in Term of Complications in the Intensive Care Unit: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Central venous catheters are needed in the critical care setting to administer drugs. Three sites are available to gain vascular access: subclavian, internal jugular and femoral. Each site has complications, but there is no randomized controlled study which compared the 3 sites.

The investigators hypothesis is that subclavian catheterization reduces the risk of major complications compared to internal jugular or femoral.
