Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion in the Hospitalized Patient: Long vs. Short Axis Placement

June 24, 2014 updated by: Beth Israel Medical Center
Comparison of peripheral IV catheters inserted by ultrasound using the long axis vs. the short axis technique. Our hypothesis is that long axis ultrasound placement will increase the longevity of the IV catheter.
