No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is no data regarding success rates and incidence of carotid punctures during central venous cannulation (CVC) in the pregnant patients. We hypothesize that because of the anatomical and physiological changes associated with pregnancy, these patients are at higher risk of procedure failure and carotid puncture than the general population. The purpose of our study is to determine the success rate and incidence of carotid punctures using an ultrasound-simulated procedure in pregnant and non-pregnant patients.
