Clinical Trial[Ultrasound-guided puncture of the jugular vein using a posterior approach].
Ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization provides a direct view of anatomical structures, making it easier to determine the exact puncture site, thereby reducing the associated mechanical complications. ⋯ Ultrasound images allowed us to effectively examine the jugular vein prior to puncture for central venous catheterization. Ultrasound-guided puncture of the vein was satisfactory and free from complications in all cases.
