Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Vascular Access for IR Technologists: PICC Line and Midline

By Ibraheem Y Aljediea

Ultrasound-guided vascular access is becoming an increasingly important skill for Interventional Radiology technologists. This practical guide focuses on the knowledge, techniques, and clinical skills needed for safe PICC and Midline insertion.

The book combines ultrasound-guided venous puncture, needle and transducer control, guidewire techniques, PICC and Midline insertion, ECG-guided tip positioning, fluoroscopy, venography, troubleshooting, and difficult vascular access from the perspective of the IR technologist.

Special attention is given to hands-on training, contracted arms, superficial and deep veins, catheter manipulation, anatomical variations, and the integration of bedside and Interventional Radiology techniques.

The goal is simple: to help IR technologists develop the knowledge, skills, confidence, and clinical judgment required to expand their role in vascular access while maintaining close collaboration with interventional radiologists.
