ABSTRACT
Central venous catheter (CVC) placement is a commonly performed procedure. More than 5 million CVC placements are performed annually in the United States, with nearly 45% of critical care patients and 8% of all inpatients requiring a CVC during their hospitalization.

In this communication, we will describe how to use the device and discuss possible advantages associated with its routine use during CVC placement.
