Zusammenfassung:Objective To present a simple and affordable model able to properly simulate an ultrasound-guided venous access. Design The simulation was made using a latex balloon tube filled with water and dye solution implanted in a thawed chicken breast with bones. Results The presented model allows the simulation of all implant stages of a central catheter. The obtained echogenicity is similar to that observed in human tissue, and the ultrasound identification of the tissues, balloon, needle, wire guide and catheter is feasible and reproducible. Conclusion The proposed model is simple, economical, easy to manufacture and capable of realistically and effectively simulating an ultrasound-guided venous access.
