What's new in the updated American Society of Echocardiography guidelines for ultrasound-guided vascular cannulation?

Vascular cannulation is a fundamental yet challenging minimally invasive procedure in clinical practice frequently performed to facilitate patient care due to its proven direct access to the circulation for administering medications, hemodynamic monitoring, and critical care support.Vascular access includes (a) peripheral vein cannulation, a basic technique and skill required in difficult cases, such as a young child with thin veins, the elderly with fragile veins, the extremely obese, and when all major veins are already occluded due to preexisting conditions and complications, (b) central venous catheters, and (c) arterial access.
