Ultrasound navigation in central vein catheterization
Peculiarities of central vein catheterization under ultrasound control have been analyzed in 21 patients from the departments of anaesthsiology and resuscitation, hemodialysis, intensive neurologic therapy in the Central Clinical Hospital. Advantages of sonographic navigation in case of central vein catheterization have been underlined: visual control of a needle tip, accurate delivery of a guide and a catheter in the vein lumen, reduction of manipulation time, reduction of possible complications.
