Ultrasound guidance for CVC placement has improved patient safety by reducing the rate of complications, improving success rates, and decreasing number of attempts and time for successful insertion (Brass). The benefit of ultrasound guidance in reducing complications is especially important when less experienced operators such as residents are placing a CVC (Rando, Airapetian, Dodge). The addition of an ultrasound machine to an otherwise sterile procedure does not increase the rate of catheter associated blood stream infections (Cartier).
