Summary

This study will test the feasibility of ultrasound-guided sterile blood sampling for critically ill patients with suspected sepsis requiring blood culture. The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the use of ultrasound for blood cultures in a population of patients which can present difficult venous access and requiring more than one venipuncture attempt in general clinical practice

Conditions

• Sepsis
• Septic Shock
• Infections
• Diagnosis

Interventions
