Central Line Academy
We love central lines, and have put a lot of thought in how to achieve the hightest level of safety, comfort and success. We love to travel, so if you want to book us for a workshop we have a program that we’ve had great success with, most recently at SFAI in Helsingborg, Östersund, the University Hospital of Zurich and the Big sick conference in Zermatt.
Uppkomling workshops 2025 är planned in Zurich, Zermatt, Brisbane, and SFAI in Norrköping.

Central Line Academy: Introduction
Learn about our preferred approach when placing central lines. This video is a brief introduction to our Central Line Academy which is a set of instructional videos on central line placement.

Central Line Academy: The Ultrasound Machine
We teach you the fundamentals of ultrasound machines to help you optimize the settings for central line placement.

Central Line Academy: In-plane Long-axis
Once you master the in-plane technique you’ll never feel comfortable placing lines using the out-of-plane approach. We walk you through how to make sure that the probe, the cannula and the vein are aligned. Remember: if you don’t see the tip of the needle, don’t proceed!

Central Line Academy: Vein vs Artery
The very prerequisite of placing a central venous catheter is to make sure you’ve identified the vein. And the artery! We teach you the best ways to do this.

Microconvex Probe Subclavian Central Venous Catheterisation
Our preferred method of central venous access. The microconvex probe allows for real-time confirmation of correct guide-wire positioning.

Microconvex Probe Internal Jugular Vein Central Venous Catheterisation
Our preferred method of central venous access on the neck. The microconvex probe allows for real-time confirmation of correct guide-wire positioning.

Ultrasound-guided left subclavian central venous catheterisation
In our opinion the easiest and most convenient way to set up a central line.

Linear Probe Right Sided Subclavian Central Venous Catheterisation
A demonstration of our technique including real time confirmation of the guide-wire postion. Although we prefer the microconvex probe, these are not always available, and the linear probe can at least partially achieve the same result.
