Introduction

Critical Care Scenarios is the podcast where we use clinical cases, narrative storytelling, and expert guests to impact how critical care is practiced in the real world. We've been doing a little bit of a series lately looking at some kind of nitty gritty aspects of vascular access and specifically central line placement. So I feel like we have to start with understanding the core concept of how to guide a needle into a vessel using ultrasound. Of course, if you're not using ultrasound guidance, it's a whole nother ballgame, but more and more that is what we're doing.
