Physicians spend a considerable amount of time and effort inserting catheters and needles into patients. Central venous catheters are the mainstay of measuring hemodynamic variables that cannot be assessed by noninvasive procedures. These catheters also allow hemodialysis, parenteral nutritional support, delivery of medications, and catecholamine administration. Arterial pressure catheters are frequently used for hemodynamic monitoring and for obtaining arterial blood gases in critically ill…

Ultrasonography as a guide during vascular access procedures and in the diagnosis of complications
TLDR
In clinical settings where patients are becoming increasingly vulnerable as a result of advanced age and/or complex disease, the possibility to reduce the risks associated with these invasive procedures should motivate clinicians to acquire the technical skills needed for routine use of sonographic support during vascular access procedures.
Use of Real-Time Ultrasound Guidance During Central Line Insertion: Brief Update Review
TLDR
It is found that, in general, US improves the success rates and reduces the risks of CVC placement, particularly for inexperienced clinicians and for patients in high-risk situations.
Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Procedures
TLDR
This chapter reviews ultrasound guidance for the injection of pseudoaneurysm, arterial access, midline catheter, and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line placement.
Ultrasound-guided central venous access in infants and children
Near-infrared vascular imaging in peripheral venous and arterial access
TLDR
The VascuLuminator was able to visualize blood vessels in most patients, and was clinically useful in venipunctures, but was not clinically beneficial for intravenous cannulation in a general pediatric population.
Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access Procedures
TLDR
Peripherally inserted central venous catheters and peripherally insertedCatheters sited in a midline position (midlines) have gained increased popularity as an alternative to CVCs in the care of selected patients because of their ease of insertion, longevity, and low rate of early complications.
[Ultrasound-guided central venous access in adults and children: Procedure and pathological findings].
TLDR
In contrast to the landmark technique, ultrasound-guided punctures can significantly reduce the rate of complications and typical ultrasonographic images visualize pathological findings in order to identify dangers and complications in central venous catheterization.
Ultrasound guided vascular access: efficacy and safety.
Ultrasound-Guided Central Venous Cannulation in Bariatric Patients
TLDR
The use of ultrasound guidance may increase the success rate and decrease the incidence of complications associated with central venous cannulation in morbidly obese patients and bedside ultrasonic examination combined with intraatrial electrocardiogram as a diagnostic tool for catheter misplacement was studied.
Central Venous Access in the Pediatric Population With Emphasis on Complications and Prevention Strategies.
TLDR
Central venous catheterization is useful for hemodynamic monitoring, rapid fluid infusion, and administration of hyperosmolar medications, including vasopressors, antibiotics, chemotherapy, and parenteral nutrition.

Use of ultrasound guidance in the insertion of radial artery catheters
TLDR
Ultrasound is a useful adjunct to arterial catheter insertion and increases the rate of success at first attempt and the technique is easy to learn and may reduce the time taken to insert the catheter.
Clinical review: Vascular access for fluid infusion in children
TLDR
Evidence from the reviewed literature strongly supports the use of real-time ultrasound techniques for venous cannulation in infants and children, and in emergency situations the intraosseous access has almost completly replaced saphenous cutdown procedures in children and has decreased the need for immediate central venous access.
Complications of central venous catheters
TLDR
Future developments should be aimed at both educational intervention and biomaterials research, which will probably lead to a new set of catheters that are more resistant to infection and thrombosis.
Use of ultrasound to evaluate internal jugular vein anatomy and to facilitate central venous cannulation in paediatric patients.
TLDR
Determining the course of the internal jugular vein with the scanner and then marking it on the overlying skin reduced both the time and number of needle insertions required to aspirate jugular venous blood and increased the chance of a complication-free cannulation.
Ultrasound‐guided arterial cannulation in infants improves success rate
TLDR
The current pilot study suggests that ultrasound guidance is appropriate for radial artery catheter insertion, sharing many of the benefits of ultrasound‐guided central vein catheter Insertion.

Ultrasound-guided cannulation of the internal jugular vein in critically ill patients positioned in 30° dorsal elevation
TLDR
Ultrasound-guided cannulation of the internal jugular vein in ventilated ICU patients can be performed successfully with the patient positioned in 30° dorsal elevation, and potentially deleterious position changes can be avoided in high-risk patients.

TLDR
Five cases of axillary vein catheterization using longitudinal section images of the vein, and following the needle, guidewire, and line with real-time sonography, are described, recommending the use of longer puncture needles and introducer sheaths.
A prospective evaluation of the use of femoral venous catheters in critically ill adults.
TLDR
Femoral venous catheterization with a polyurethane catheter is associated with an 8.5% frequency rate of femoral vein thrombosis, and offers an attractive alternate site of insertion to the jugular and subclavian veins for central venous access in the critically ill.
