  • Title: [Ultrasound guidance of central venous catheterisation].
    Author: Le Ray Ferrières I, Guinier D.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 2009 Dec; 146(6):528-31. PubMed ID: 19906375.
    Abstract:
    Portacath implantation with introduction of a catheter into the superior vena caval system is a commonly performed procedure. Catheterization of the internal jugular vein can be difficult due to anatomical variation, individual patient morphology, or as a result of previous catheterization. Use of 2D ultrasonography facilitates localization of the internal jugular vein and decreases the risks of catheter placement.
