Fig 1 Ultrasound-guided measurement of the depth of the GSV at the level of the medial malleolus. The white arrow indicates the jelly pad (hypoechoic area above the skin surface). The depth of the ultrasound image is 1.9 cm. British Journal of Anaesthesia 2012 108, 290-294DOI: (10.1093/bja/aer334) Copyright © 2012 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Ultrasound-guided measurements of the cross-sectional area and the circumference of the GSV at the level of the medial malleolus. The white arrow indicates the jelly pad (hypoechoic area above the skin surface). The depth of the ultrasound image is 1.9 cm.

Fig 3 Out-of-plane needle guidance technique during establishment of the venous access. The ultrasound image represents the needle tip (grey arrow) inside the GSV. British Journal of Anaesthesia 2012 108, 290-294DOI: (10.1093/bja/aer334) Copyright © 2012 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions
Fig 4 Longitudinal scan of a venous cannula inside the GSV (indicated by the vertical transparent arrow). Owing to the two-dimensional image, only parts of the cannula can be visualized as a double-layer structure. The white arrow indicates the jelly pad (which is slightly compressed due to the weight of the ultrasound probe) and the grey arrow indicates the GSV.
