Abstract

Arguably the most common invasive procedure during hospital stays involves vascular access. Whether drawing blood or insertion of a central venous line, techniques are being developed to perform these tasks consistently and with a minimum of complications and discomfort to the patient. Maintaining clinically favorable results requires skills and experience from the practitioners. To achieve these two vital requirements, we must provide the caregiver with the proper vascular access and visioning tools needed to determine location of vessels, proper guidance of needles or catheters, and to confirm the proper placement of these introduced invasive medical devices.
