🫀 #EHRAtopicweek | Vascular access in EP How common are vascular complications in everyday EP practice? Ultrasound-guided vascular access significantly reduces the overall vascular complication rate (1.2% vs. 3.2%) compared with the conventional approach (meta-analysis including 1 RCT and 1 observational study). ✅ Shorter puncture time ✅ Higher first-pass success ✅ Fewer puncture attempts ✅ Fewer inadvertent arterial punctures ✅ Benefits both trainees and experienced operators Ultrasound-guided vascular access should become standard practice in every EP lab.
