The implementation of ultrasound protocols during catheter placement has demonstrated multiple advantages that increase accuracy and allow medical teams to reduce operative time, potential complications, and procedure costs. The wide use of lung and cardiac ultrasound in perioperative medicine enables earlier diagnosis of some acute complications, allowing prompt intervention and control of damage. The application of this algorithm optimizes the use of bedside ultrasound as a diagnostic tool, organizes the steps, and increases the early identification of potential operational errors.
