Abstract:
Objective To assess the value of high-frequency ultrasound guided venipuncture of forearm superficial veins. Methods Forty patients with failure of direct venipuncture were given high-frequency ultrasound guided venipuncture. After the direction and depth of superficial veins were identified by high-frequency ultrasonography, a re-puncture was performed. Real-time ultrasonic guidance was employed in case of necessity. Results High-frequency ultrasound identification was used in 11 patients, and real-time ultrasonic guidance was used in 29 patients. All the procedures were successfully completed on one session. Conclusions High-frequency ultrasound guided venipuncture of superficial veins is a simple method without complications, being worthy of wide clinical application.
