Ultrasound localization of central vein catheter and detection of postprocedural pneumothorax: an alternative to chest radiography

A Vezzani, C Brusasco, S Palermo, C Launo… - Critical care …, 2010 - journals.lww.com
Objective: To determine the usefulness of ultrasound to evaluate central venous catheter
misplacements and detection of pneumothorax, thus obviating postprocedural radiograph.
After the insertion of a central venous catheter, chest radiograph is usually obtained to
ensure correct positioning of the catheter tip and detect postprocedural complications.
Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Adult intensive care unit. Patients: 111
consecutive patients undergoing central venous catheter positioning, using a landmark …
