Abstract

Spanish neonatologists perceive that USG-VA is important in clinical practice but currently, these techniques are largely underused. Our results indicate that specific training in USG-VA should be implemented in the NICU. •Ultrasound-guided vascular access is recommended as the preferred method for central venous access and arterial line placement in children and adults. • The degree of current implementation of ultrasound for vascular access in the NICU and the perceptions of neonatologist about its use are largely unknown. •Most neonatologists consider that competence in ultrasound-guided vascular access is an indispensable aid for clinical practice. •However, most neonatologists are not adequately trained in ultrasound-guided vascular access and the technique is largely underused.
