Ultrasound technology has revolutionized the practice of safer vascular access, for both
venous and arterial cannulation. The ability to visualize underlying structures of the chest …

Central venous access devices are used in many branched of medicine where venous
access is required for either long‐term or a short‐term care. These guidelines review the …

Objective: Subclavian vein catheterization may cause various complications. We compared
the real-time ultrasound-guided subclavian vein cannulation vs. the landmark method in …

Central venous catheterisation was first performed in 1929 when Werner Frossman, a
German doctor, inserted a ureteric catheter into his antecubital vein. He then walked to the …

In this paper we describe a new protocol—named RaFeVA (Rapid Femoral Vein
Assessment)—for the systematic US assessment of the veins in the inguinal area and at mid …

Physicians spend a considerable amount of time and effort inserting catheters and needles
into patients. Central venous catheters are the mainstay of measuring hemodynamic …
