Translated title:
Complications of placement central venous cannulation with ultrasound guidance in real time against the landmark technique in ICU
Summary:
Introduction: Central venous catheterization is an invasive method which can result in many adverse events especially in ICU. The use of real time ultrasound guided central venous cannulation seems to result in many advantages compared to the landmark technique.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the real time ultrasound guided central venous cannulation or the landmark technique is optimal for both critical care patients and healthcare providers.
Methods & material: This literature search was performed using Pubmed and Google Scholar. Studies based on the set key words and those which fulfilled the set criteria were eligible.
Results: Real time ultrasound guided central venous cannulation results in a higher rate success with a reduction in the amount of time procedure. Significant decrease in mechanical and long-term complications were also observed compared to the landmark technique.
Conclusions: Real time ultrasound guided central venous cannulation is superior to the landmark technique and has direct benefits on patients outcomes, medical and nurse workloads and healthcare providers.
