Abstract

The use of ultrasound by vascular specialists has continued to increase over the past two decades. Historically, access for venous and arterial cannulation has been guided by landmark techniques. Ultrasound with the availability of portable devices, most operating theaters and interventional suites are equipped with specified units for physician use. This chapter describes common percutaneous cannulation sites and how access can be assisted by ultrasound technology. In addition, available literature comparing this modality to other methods of vascular access is examined.
