The potential role of point-of-care ultrasonography}, volume={4}, url={https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/BCCJ/article/view/27980}, DOI={10.3329/bccj.v4i1.27980}, abstractNote={<p>Malpositioning of central venous catheter is not uncommon and can be associated with complications. We report a case where central venous catheter inserted through right internal jugular approach under real time ultrasonographic guidance was malpositioned with its tip in left brachio-cephalic vein. Chest radiograph for detection of catheter malpositioning is associated with time delay and radiation exposure. Point-of-care ultrasonography can be a valuable bedside tool to identify catheter malpositioning during catheter insertion, thus facilitating immediate catheter repositioning and early use of central venous catheter.</p><p>Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2016; 4 (1): 44-45</p>}, number={1}, journal={Bangladesh Critical Care Journal}, author={Shrestha, Gentle Sunder and Poudyal, Bishesh Sharma}, year={2016}, month={Jun.}, pages={44–45} }
