Abstract
Ultrasound (US) technology has made significant contributions to the safety, efficiency, and quality of vascular access in both pre-procedure screening and real-time procedural guidance. The use of US imaging before or during vascular cannulation greatly improves first-pass success rate and reduces complications. In addition, US imaging is helpful to diagnose catheter malposition and procedure related complications, such as thrombosis, hemothorax, and pneumothorax. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive, yet practical approach for US guided vascular access.
