Nov 17, 2007 - Excellent video. Thanks. My hospital's OR doesn't have one of these (small community hospital). Cath lab has one but they don't lend it out. I also think it's good to learn how to do it without US, just using landmarks and carotid pulse. The US machine may be broken, out of batteries, in use, or otherwise unavailable. If you can't do it the old-fashioned way, then you (and the pt) will be SOL.

Apr 9, 2009 - Becareful of advice in this video 1) sterile gloves should NOT be used as the cord is not covered creates a NON sterile environemnt 2) short axis -- The needle tip IS visualized if you understand that the scan plane is only 1 mm thick and that the FIRST echogenic dot that is seen as you past the needle under the transducer is the tip. Ring down artifact is the shaft! YOu must follow the tip to the target.

Sep 7, 2009 - Hi, How will you advance the wire while watching the image on the longitudinal positional? Are you using an assistant to do it for you?

Sep 8, 2009 - yes, you could have an assistant hold the probe for you.
