International evidence-based recommendations on ultrasound-guided vascular access

“…Multiple published guidelines support the clinical utility of ultrasound guidance, but together they only partially address the best practice of ultrasound-guided vascular access [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Recommendations from our consensus vary significantly in their quality, methodology, clinical scope and targeted audience.…”
