Summary

Central venous catheter (CVC) is an essential tool in the management of both medical and surgical patients. Establishing venous access is critically important and is sometimes technically challenging. Among the many indications for point of care ultrasound (POCUS), ultrasound-guided venous catheter placement is well described and increasingly used. This study was designed to evaluate the utility of peri procedural transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as a tool for positioning CVC and for ruling out complications.
