Echogenic Technology Improves Cannula Visibility during Ultrasound-Guided Internal Jugular Vein Catheterization via a Transverse Approach
Figure 2
Nonechogenic cannula entering the anterior wall (a) and depicted within the lumen of the internal jugular vein, on the transverse axis (b); please observe that the echogenic cannula incorporates “cornerstone” reflectors arranged at its distal 2 cm (c), which increases dramatically its visibility (d).
