Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyUltrasound versus the landmark technique: a prospective randomized comparative study of internal jugular vein cannulation in an intensive care unit.
The aim of this study is to find out if an ultrasound technique has advantages over the conventional landmark technique. ⋯ Ultrasound improves success rate, minimizes cannulation time and complications during internal jugular vein cannulation. It can be employed as a rescue technique in cases of a failed landmark technique.
