  • Title: The Ultrasound-Only Central Venous Catheter Placement and Confirmation Procedure.
    Author: Saul T, Doctor M, Kaban NL, Avitabile NC, Siadecki SD, Lewiss RE.
    Journal: J Ultrasound Med; 2015 Jul; 34(7):1301-6. PubMed ID: 26112635.
    Abstract:
    The placement of a central venous catheter remains an important intervention in the care of critically ill patients in the emergency department. We propose an ultrasound-first protocol for 3 aspects of central venous catheter placement above the diaphragm: dynamic procedural guidance, evaluation for pneumothorax, and confirmation of the catheter tip location.
