Ultrasound ‐guided vessel catheterization in adult Yorkshire cross‐bred pigs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceUltrasound guidance resulted in success rates of 100% for catheterization of the external jugular vein and 80% for catheterization of the femoral artery in anesthetized adult Yorkshire cross‐bred pigs. This technique is a noninvasive, easily performed alternative to surgical exposure of the vessels in large pigs undergoing surgical instrumentation for biomedical device testing.
