Key result
Ultrasonography guidance improves the safety and effectiveness of common intensive care procedures, including vascular access, paracentesis, thoracentesis, and pericardiocentesis.
Why the study?
Ultrasonography guidance can help make procedures safer and more effective, particularly in the intensive care setting.
Ultrasonography guidance is highlighted as a key tool to improve the safety and efficacy of common procedures in the intensive care setting.
May enhance ICU procedural safety; leaves open need for randomized trials to confirm outcomes.
Ultrasonography guidance can help make procedures safer and more effective, particularly in the intensive care setting. This article discusses techniques to optimize periprocedural ultrasonography and reviews common intensive care procedures for which ultrasonography can be used: vascular access procedures, paracentesis, thoracentesis, and pericardiocentesis.
