title: [Controlling the position of the central venous catheter using ultrasound].
abstract: After the insertion of a central venous line it is necessary to identify the correct position by making an x-ray of the chest. It was demonstrated in this study that it is possible to identify the correct intravascular position of the central venous catheter by ultrasonic evaluation.
