Abstract

The insertion of central venous catheters is, nowadays, a common practice in the field of Anesthesiology. Through this article we present the use of intracavitary ECG guidance as an alternative method to guide the proper placement of the catheter. It is a useful technique, innocuous and easy to carry out. We accompany the text of an explanatory video to facilitate the understanding of the technique.
