Overview
I LOVE placing central lines! Join me as we learn how to EASILY nail the IJ, subclavian, and femoral central lines. If you haven't already seen our video on Ultrasound-Guided Access, consider watching that first! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IcVAz_8DPs
***As a couple viewers have noted, we accidentally left out the shot where we removed the wire! You should remove the wire after the catheter is inserted over it! :) ***
