In this chapter, the use of ultrasound to facilitate cannulation of a vessel is described in detail, including commentaries on equipment, preparation, scanning, and needling technique. Equipment and techniques for the insertion of short-term non-tunnelled central lines, long-term central venous access devices, arterial lines, and intraosseous needles are presented.

Uses of central venous access devices (CVADs) include the administration of vital fluids and medications. Implanted ports are a type of CVAD that is used when long-term vascular access is required. The device is discreet and associated with a low risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection. This article describes the different types and components of ports and how to select them. It explains how to insert ports, and provides guidance on accessing and de-accessing them

Long-term central venous access devices are increasingly prevalent and consequently often encountered by intensivists. This review introduces the different types of long-term central venous access devices, outlines their potential utility, examines potential complications associated with their use and outlines an approach to the management of these complications.

Chemoports are subcutaneously placed long term central venous access devices usually inserted under local anaesthesia. Rare complications include port inversion or <em>flip over</em>. These can be prevented by anchoring the port to the tissues at its base. We describe an <em>in situ</em> technique of port anchoring. Here, the port is first ‘fixed’ temporarily to the overlying skin by Huber needle, thus facilitating placement of fixing sutures without port manipulation. The described technique is safe and we have not encountered complications. In addition, ex - planting the port was easier due to the use of delayed absorbable sutures. It is safer to anchor the port even if the port pocket ensures that the port fits in snugly. This described technique results in minimal manipulation of portcatheter system thereby ensuring that the catheter tip which is properly placed remains unaltered.
