Feasibility of a new ultrasound guided procedure to ensure the correct position of the central venous catheter tip

Safety of central venous catheter (CVC) placement relies on some general aspects, including selection of the right vessel, correct lumen targeting while inserting the needle, check the position of catheter tip, and post-procedure check for complications. All these four points can be guided by bedside ultrasound, but the best technique to ensure the position of the CVC tip is still uncertain.
