Central venous catheterization is a standard procedure used in the resuscitation of critically ill patients. There are different routes of CVP insertion which are:- subclavian vein, internal jugular vein, axillary vein and femoral vein. Each route has its own set of complications like artery puncture, pneumothorax, nerve injury, infections. Initially catheters were inserted by the landmark technique using guidewire through the needle commonly called seldinger technique. The landmark technique is found to be associated with a higher range of mechanical complications. The use of USG however has proved to improve the success rate and decrease the complications.Keywords: Central venous catheterization, resuscitation, internal jugular vein.
