Overview

High success with combined ultrasound-ECG guidance in this series; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized trials before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does real-time ultrasound guidance combined with endocavitary electrocardiography improve the success and safety of internal jugular vein catheterization?

P
Population
527 patients requiring internal jugular vein catheterization with temporary and tunnelled cuffed hemodialysis catheters from 1991 to 2001
I
Intervention
Real-time ultrasound guidance and monitoring of catheter placement by endocavitary electrocardiography (EC-ECG)
O
Outcome
Incidence of successful puncture and cannulation

Real-time ultrasound guidance combined with endocavitary electrocardiography yields high success rates and safety for internal jugular vein catheterization.
