title: Ultrasound-guided internal jugular venous cannulation: an introduction for non-radiologists to a technique that is here to stay.
abstract: The availability of relatively low-cost, portable ultrasound units has increased interest among non-radiologists in performing image-guided central venous cannulation, especially in high-risk patients. The essential elements of this relatively simple method of increasing the success and safety of internal jugular cannulation are presented.
