TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 17. Ultrasound for Venous Access A1 - Korley, Frederick A2 - Carmody, Kristin A. A2 - Moore, Christopher L. A2 - Feller-Kopman, David PY - 2011 T2 - Handbook of Critical Care and Emergency Ultrasound AB - The expeditious and safe placement of venous catheters is vital to the practice of acute care medicine. Venous access includes the cannulation of both superficial peripheral and large central veins, depending on the particular clinical scenario. Traditionally, venous access is performed blindly by palpation or with the use of anatomic landmarks. More recently, ultrasound guidance has become standard of care for most central venous access, and using ultrasound for difficult peripheral access may reduce the need for central access.
