Ultrasound-Guided Access (IVs, Lines) | Behind the Knife - Bedside Procedures Bonus Episode

Before you can do things like a central line or a radial arterial line, you need to know how to use the ultrasound to poke a needle into things!

One thing I forgot to mention in the video: I demonstrate accessing vessels with short-axis view (like taking a slice through a bread loaf, if the bread is the vessel). You can also access vessels with long-axis view (like cutting a hot-dog in half the long way). I do not recommend this approach because you can't see structures lateral to the vessel, and it is also difficult to keep the needle in plane with the ultrasound window.
