Anesthesiology News - June 2012

Ultrasound technology has become an essential tool for the everyday practice of anesthesiology. Some of the many uses include the placement of central, arterial, and peripheral lines, as well as peripheral nerve blocks. Until recently, neither a national standard for ultrasound use nor a well-accepted standard in training for ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation (CVC) existed. In the past few years, several specialty societies and national organizations - including the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the Anmerican Society of Echocardiography, the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - have published guidelines and recommendations regarding ultrasound-guided vascular cannulation.
