“…The use of ultrasound guidance for central venous catheter insertion may overcome vein location issues, lower the risk of arterial puncture, and reduce the time it takes for insertion as expertise increases. Ultrasound has been shown to aid in the safe placement of internal jugular lines, 75 and it may also be used to guide peripheral venous access 76 and arterial access. Not surprisingly, compared with non-obese patients, obesity can hinder the ultrasound view of the subclavian vein, 77 and novices should not attempt unsupervised ultrasound-guided subclavian line insertion in this patient group.…”

“…Over a period of five years, it was shown in 401,532 ED patients, that central venous catheter placement could be markedly reduced in non-critically ill patients by the use of US-guided peripheral intravenous access [18]. Also in intensive care unit patients, US-guided peripheral venous access helps to avoid central venous catheter placement and to reduce central line days [19].…”

Peripheral venous as well as arterial punctures have traditionally been performed on the basis of designated anatomical landmarks. However, due to patients' individual anatomy and vessel pathology and depending on individual operators' skill, this landmark approach is associated with a significant failure rate and complication risk. This review comments on the evidence-based recommendations on ultrasound (US)-guided vascular access which have been published recently within the framework of Guidelines on Interventional Ultrasound (INVUS) of the European Federation of Societies for US in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) from a clinical practice point of view. Part 1 of the review had its focus on general aspects of USguidance and on central venous access, whereas part 2 refers to peripheral vascular access.

“…The barriers listed are higher procedure cost and higher skill requirement, operator dependence, increased procedural time, fear of nosocomial infections, less familiar model of US machine and question of timely availability of US machine. [20] …”

“…[9,19] In a retrospective cohort review of 77 requests for USguided IV access, Gregg achieved near absolute success rate (99%) with the use of US-guided IV; 34 central lines were avoided and 40 central lines were removed as a result of ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous access being obtained. [20] Similarly, Au AK et al conducted a prospective observational study in 100 patients with inability to establish IV access. Ultrasound prevented the need for central venous cannula placement in 85% of these patients with difficult IV access.…”
