Ultrasound Guidance Versus Anatomical Landmarks for CVC Catheterisation:

N/ACompletedNCT03207932

University of Pisa200 enrolled

Overview

anatomical landmarks on the body surface were used to insert central vein catheter. However, ultrasound technique is emerging as a new technique for vein catheterisation. For subclavian and femoral vein catheterisation, up to now, there is a lack of evidence of the superiority of one technique over the other.
