Abstract
The use of 2-dimensional ultrasound (US) to facilitate central venous catheter (CVC) placement in the internal jugular vein (IJV) improves patient safety and reduces complications. Even after the recommendations by the National institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines1 in 2002, US guidance is still not routinely used by all physicians when obtaining central venous access. A common cause of this could be lack of the US machine, the probe, and the experience with US. A case in which thrombus in the right jugular vein was found during US-guided CVC placement is presented.
