Study Summary

This trial looks at whether a certain pain-relieving medication can help reduce pain for people who have had a tube inserted through a vein in their neck.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who visit the Akron General Emergency Department between March 1, 2021 and December 1, 2022, and need an internal jugular vein central line (IJVC). It's not for those who are intubated or have had CPR, allergies to local anesthetics like lidocaine or bupivacaine, skin infections near the neck veins, abnormal neck anatomy or prior surgeries in that area.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is comparing two methods of pain control after placing a central line in the neck. One group will receive a superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB), while the other will get a standard local infiltrate. The goal is to see which method better reduces patient pain during this procedure.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects may include discomfort at injection site, bruising, nerve damage risk with SCPB technique leading to weakness or numbness around the neck and shoulder area. Allergic reactions to anesthesia used could also occur.
