Discussion

Observational study compares ultrasound guided technique with landmark guided in critical care patients, revealing safety and efficiency differences.

Ultrasound guided technique significantly improves success rates with 84% first-attempt cannulation versus 60% for landmark guided.
Mean access time was reduced in the ultrasound group (266.60 seconds) compared to the landmark group (291.58 seconds).
Complications of cannulation were lower in the ultrasound group (14%) compared to the landmark group (30%).
This analysis involved 100 participants requiring central venous line insertion in emergency and critical care settings.

Kumar et al. (2025) studied this question.
