[Ultrasonography guided versus anatomically oriented puncture of the internal jugular vein for central venous catheterization].
Ultrasonography guided puncture (UGP) of the internal jugular vein (IJV) carried out by an expert is considered to be superior to the anatomically orientated puncture (AOP). Whether routine use of the UGP lowered the number of unsuccessful punctures and complications was unknown. Both puncture techniques were compared in a random study. ⋯ UGP is superior to AOP of the IJV also in routine use. It should be used more frequently in elective situations.
