Internal jugular vein cannulation: How much safety can we offer?☆

Could ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein catheter insertion replace the use of chest X-ray?

“…We present the Successful Ultrasound-Guided Internal Jugular Vein Catheter Insertion algorithm (Fig. 1 ), which is based on reports of safe vascular ultrasound protocols in daily practice [ 3 , 4 ]. It follows an operational pipeline that integrates steps focused on adequate vascular identification, cannulation, and placement of the catheter.…”
