AB Vascular  access  is  a  necessity  for  evaluation  and  treatment  of  many  patients  in  the  ED.  Traditionally,  knowledge  of  common  venous  anatomy  in  experienced  hands  was  the  standard  method  of  obtaining  venous  access.  Factors  such  as  obesity,  prior  access,  and  volume  depletion  can  increase  the  difficulty  of  the  conventional  approach.  This  increased  difficulty  not  only  leads  to  failure  to  obtain  access,  but  also  increases  the  risk  of  complications.
