Central Venous Catheterization in Obese Patients With Compass Device

This is a single-arm observational trial of a device (Compass Vascular Access, Centurion
Medical Products, Williamston MI). The device is a compact, sterile, single-use extravascular
blood pressure transducer. This pressure measurement aids in confirmation of appropriate
venous access. The investigators plan to enroll 40 consenting patients with BMI ≥35 who
require central venous catheterization for clinical reasons independent of the existence of
this study. The primary outcome is operator satisfaction.

Forty (40) consenting patients meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria for this single-arm
observational trial will be prepared as usual for central venous catheter (CVC) placement.
The Compass pressure measurement device will be included in the CVC placement apparatus as
per the manufacturer's directions. Data will be recorded on the placement procedure, operator
satisfaction, routine patient demographics, and incidence of inadvertent arterial puncture.

Inclusion Criteria:

- BMI ≥35

Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnant women

- Adults unable to consent

- Non-English speakers

- Prisoners
