 | | The femoral vein was then punctured percutaneously one finger breadth below the inguinal ligament and approximately 1 cm medical to the femoral pulse with a 21-guage "finder" needle. | | | Once the vein was localized, an 18-guage needle was placed directly adjacent to the finder needle and via Seldinger technique an 8-French Swan-Ganz catheter introducer (Sterile Concept, Richmond, Va) was placed. | | | The charts were analyzed looking for ventricular arrhythmias at the time of catheter insertion and evidence of catheter-related septicemia, clinical evidence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and problems developing at the insertion site such as hemostasis or localized infection. |

| | The femoral artery lies at the midinguinal point, which is midway between the pubic symphysis and anterior superior iliac spine and is the inferior extremity of the midclavicular line. | | | The pubic symphysis is a secondary cartilaginous joint between the bodies of the pubic bones, and the pubic tubercle is a small bony projection on the upper surface of the body of the pubis (fig 2). | | | Palpate the femoral pulse at the midinguinal point. |

| | The vein is identified by its position relative to the artery, absence of pulsatility, and demonstration of collapsibility by applying gentle pressure. | | | The main limitations of this study are the few number of patients involved and the possibility of interobserver variation in the estimation of femoral vein diameter with the ultrasound technique used. | | | Their study populations were older, however, and the technique of measurement of the internal diameter of the femoral vein differs from ours. |
