Description
Feng Liu and six colleagues randomize patients to two needle directions for thigh vein access, in a trial published in two thousand twenty-six. Femoral vein puncture risks hitting the neighboring artery because anatomy varies between people. Clinicians usually puncture by surface landmarks.
One hundred eight patients needing femoral catheters were assigned to lateral or orthogonal approach groups. First-attempt success was the main outcome. The lateral approach succeeded first try in seventy-six percent versus fifty-two percent. Overall success, attempt counts, procedure time, and complications were also recorded. Direction, a free choice at the bedside, changed performance substantially. Trials of such small technique details quietly improve everyday procedure safety more than new devices often do.
