- Ultrasonography is frequently used in the examination of vascular diseases and for assisting in vascular access procedures.
- A review of Cochrane systematic reviews evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasound guidance on vascular access, summarizing key findings related to its impact on success rates and complications.
- The results indicated that ultrasound guidance likely improves success rates and reduces complications in vascular access, especially in adults and children, but highlighted a need for more research on its use for arterial access in adults.
Background: The worldwide incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) are increasing. DM has a high social and economic burden due to its complications and associated disorders. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is closely related to DM.
