ClinConnect Summary
OBJECTIVE: To compare the in plane and out of plane ultrasound guided approach for internal jugular vein cannulation in the patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
Ultrasound-guided central vein cannulation has many advantages, giving the operator the possibility of choosing the most appropriate and safest venous access on the basis of ultrasound assessment, performing a 100% safe insertion, ruling out malposition or pleuropulmonary damages, during and after the procedure.
There is an increasing body of evidence supporting the use of ultrasound guidance for CVC placement.
