“…No major complications such as pneumothorax, vascular thrombosis & large growing hematomas were encountered in our study. This agrees with results obtained by Reusz G and his colleagues [19] , who succeeded in CVC insertion in 41 patients with severe uncorrected coagulopathy and in a further 76 patients with coagulopathy of moderate severity using ultrasound guidance with no associated major complications.…”

“…G Ruesz have suggested that ultrasound guided CVC placement without routine correction of coagulation abnormalities may be safe in the ICU. 2 Real time ultrasonography helps cannulation of central veins under direct visualization, thus reducing the chances of complications. Another advantage that USG cannulation offers is the visualization of vessels in hypotensive patients in whom carotid artery is difficult to palpate for landmark identification.…”
