- Abstract:
The article discusses the ultrasound-guided placement of peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters in patients who have difficult IV access. The difficulty of using traditional techniques is an indication for the ultrasound-guided IV placement. Also discussed are potential cannulation sites and placement with both longitudinal and transverse techniques as well as the complications, common errors and factors to consider for a successful placement.
