[Central venous cannulation under ultrasonographic and fluoroscopic navigation - 2 year experience].
The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of ultrasonographic and fluoroscopic navigation on the rate of procedural and early complications during central venous cannulation. ⋯ We conclude that the ultrasonographic central venous cannulation is a very safe method with a low risk of procedural and early complications. There were significantly fewer complications in case of jugular cannulation compared to subclavian approach in our group of patients. Ultrasonographically navigated central venous cannulation should be used more fequently in emergency medicine as well as in case of non-acute central venous cannulation performed a tan intensive care unit or by anesthesiologists.
