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.
